You can still get patches. Not that it matters much any more as most malware and other nasties are targeting Windows Vista/7/8 these days. XP is actually a lot safer than the newer versions.

 

Well this is just flat out wrong.

Windows 7. I have 3 years old hardware inside, maximum compatibility with software so it stays there as the main OS until I completely upgrade to newer hardware.

Windows 10 will ready my computer when Broadwell and next gen Maxwell arrive.

The ignorance is breathtaking.

 

 

I'm running 8.1, but come Jan 20 I'll be on 10 on all my computers, and phone if possible.

Just upgraded PC, really liking this OS, feels very smooth.

I already heard about it. Windows 95 has this cool new start menu, right? :woot:

Windows XP has reached End of Life on April 8. How can you still get patches?

I got an Intel Inspiron 6000 laptop from the XP era to work with windows 10 :D even the wireless worked as well...

Windows 8.1.

 

I am not going to use a pre-release version of Windows to do my homework.

 

I highly doubt that "Windows 10 crashed" is a valid excuse for not turning in my homework.

 

It's a more believable excuse than "My dog ate it"! :woot:

Windows 8.1 with Start8 and Modern Mix until a proper release of 10. Or at least an RC release. Since the return of the start menu in 10 I have been distancing myself from the Start crap in 8. Sold 4 copies of Start 8 and Modern Mix myself to friends and families that got new PCs in 2014. Although I recently heard it is no longer compatible since Update 1??? I need to go figure that out.

Windows Embedded POS edition or something is essentially Windows XP and it is supported until 2019.

 

Windows Embedded POS, the connotations for that that product acronym are now a lot more relevant today.

Windows Embedded POS. POS= Point of Sale? We used these  cash registers back at old Walter Reed Army Medical center circe 2004 that used an embedded Windows OS. can't do much on it. I mean as a consumer. Are you a busniess owner? sorry I don't mean to be poking around in your business.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
