[GIF] When you find a Windows XP machine still in production...

[Dot Matrix]

When someone calls you up, and you find they're still somehow running Windows XP in production...

 

 

Kylo Ren's got the right idea tbh.

 

 

Poor user...

Cool poster but it would make more sense if it said Windows 7 at the bottom. Windows XP has bigger market share then Vista even today. LOL  Who ever ran Vista in the Office?

My school district ran Vista in their offices. They skipped deploying XP completely, and made the jump from Windows 2000.

Because of your avatar, I thought you liked XP.

I like the old WMP icon. That's not indicative of Windows XP though.

I guess. Though it will certainly remind people of XP, since it is an XP era icon & WMP10 wasn't available for other OSes.

3 more systems, I think, until I can put this up. Fortunately they're not frequently used.

There's nothing wrong with XP

Should read "There's nothing wrong with XP SP2"

No, it's what we call a rhetorical question. We all know Vista was not popular and had no wide spread adaption similar to Windows 8 with consumers let alone with business and the enterprise.

Perhaps now it would make sense if the poster said Windows 7 . . . but it was released at a time when Windows Vista was still new.

Auditory inflection helps with rhetorical questions and sarcasm, but it is not available on discussion boards which, if I had to guess, is probably why you received an answer.

I understand that but few people thought Vista was worth upgrading XP over and it wasn't until Windows 7 the mass migration from XP started so the poster in that context makes no sense. Someone should Photoshop it...

 

No, it was just Dot Matrix being Dot Matrix.
