Windows XP extended support ends very soon. What are your thoughts? - Darth-Apple - September 9th, 2013
Windows XP was undoubtedly one of the classics as far as windows releases are concerned. It looked much more appealing visually than its predecessors, while still not requiring a large amount of PC resources. It also had the libraries and DLLs needed to run most modern programs, unlike predecessors such as Windows 98.
However, it has been around for many years, and extended support ends this upcoming April in 2014. Many companies are now upgrading their PCs to prepare for the end of official support. What are your thoughts?

And thus, the great OS is laid to rest...

Sometime in April, here at Makestation.

I can't wait to see this. Maybe a temporary theme with the words "R.I.P XP" instead of Makestation, and candles and a grave with the XP windows in the background?

No, this is top secret. If you wish to find out more please join the Power Rangers, I am the leader.
We are sorry, becoming a power ranger is not currently possible; all of the colors are taken. No exceptions.
