All CCP need to do is force everyone to upgrade and like some one said earlier all the xp kiddies will run and upgrade, and if they don't then EVE has lost some negative influences. win win Your about as much use as a condom dispenser in the Vatican. |

XP SP3 on my main machine.
Unfortunately my laptop is incapable of running XP and therefore is an unstable pile of crap on 7. |

But same here. cash is the only reason i dont have a better computer. Hell im still using an old Dell XPS 400 with the original CPU (came upgraded initially) but other than that all i've done is add a better graphics card and more ram. Other than rebuilding it entirely i'm stuck "I swear there are more people complaining over "nullsecers complaining" then actual nullsec people complaining." |

I'm not preventing anything. CCP is preventing themselves. You can think of me as an AFK cloaker in the CCP collected OS stats(local). As for OS updates, they're not necessary in any way and every software that I'm using on that comp still supports XP. As I said until things start to actually require something other than XP there is no need for an OS upgrade. |

Just realized I forgot something : I'm an Administrative Employee, finished my studies last year, and here in Belgium the "standard business OS" is indeed WinXP, and the most used office programs are the Office2003 suite ...
Almost all the public administrations and private enterprises use those two, and the few that don't use custom-made applications ...
When I heard that Micro$oft was dropping support for XP, I relayed that to my friends in IT, and their enthusiasm soared : more work for us maintaining the nation's computers !
Heck, I even did a temp job where I had to break out my old DOS 6.2 manuals and Multiplan sheets to be able to work on their network ...

What are you guys going to do when your OS is no longer supported, even if it still runs your software? Though there's no hurry to think about it yet, XP extended support runs to April 8, 2014. |

Windows 8 uses hardware sound so you might check and see if your card works with it. |

That you know of. That is the whole point of the UAC, if something is acting up when it isn't supposed to, with UAC on you know about it. If it's of, you have to be a high end user to actually be able to tell that something is wrong.
So since the majority of users aren't going to be superusers borne from the Tron Grid, don't suggest to them to do something stupid. Don't worry about posting with your main! -áPost with your brain! "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." |

People still use WinXP for their home PCs?????? WTF???? Businesses I can understand because of some outdated Finance Package, but home users typically don't need to use outdated software that "requires" older OSs
That being said I'm a Win7 user I tried the Win8 BETA but it was a Pain in the arse to use with a mouse, it really was designed to use with a multi-point touch screen, and I refuse to get multiple touch screens for my system, because they would be a nightmare to constantly clean the fingerprints off. However depending on how the Leap Motion goes, I might consider upgrading to Win8 then, because then I will be able to do everything that a touch screen can do without leaving finger prints.

I use 4(in a 2x2 grid), and the bottom right one is my Primary Monitor, the Win8 Taskbar is opened by placing the mouse in the top left of the primary screen. On a single monitor this is easy, move mouse to the left and up as far as it goes, on my setup, you needed to be pretty specific on where the mouse landed, it was a nightmare. |

Currently i'm a Windows 7 and Windows 8 user. I use Windows 7 on my main computer (gonna switch to Windows 8 here soon) and Windows 8 on my Samsung 9-series laptop.
I was very happy with Windows XP in the old days. But i switched to Windows Server 2008 when it came out because Windows Server 2008 was using the SSD's much much better than Windows XP did. And it was using the CPU-cores better to.
The reason i went for Windows Server 2008 over Windows Vista was because Server 2008 wasn't using many of those useless bloat apps that Vista had and it was actually running better than Windows Vista to.
I was using Windows Server 2008 until Windows 7 came out.
Now you may ask, why change from Windows Server 2008 to Windows 7 when Server 2008 just worked?
I was switching because Windows 7 was a billion times better in performance, using the SSD's, using the CPU's much better. And ofc because the security is much much better in Windows 7. That's the reason i went to Windows 7.
Now some years later, Windows 8 came out. And i was running Windows 8 in VirtualBox for like a month or so just to test it out before i would make the decision to buy Windows 8 Pro. And i really did like Windows 8,so i bought it for the whole 22 dollars. But i didn't buy it to install it on my main computer. I bought Windows 8 to mySamsung 9-series laptop.
And i'm serious when isayit, but Windows 8 works extremely good and iget longer battery life with Windows 8 over what i get with Windows 7 on the laptop.
So my question is. Even when Windows XP just works for you, are you taking into consideration that you are losing tons of optimizations and on top of that will have way worser battery life if you run Windows XP on a laptop?
If you have a computer from the stone age, then you might not need to do the upgrade, but if your computer have SSD's, newer motherboard, or just newer hardware in general, you will gain ALOT by going from Windows XP to Windows 7 or Windows 8. My current EVE videos.
