Reminds me of the problems webmasters had when maintaining compatibility with IE6, although that was a different set of problems.
The good news, in some ways, is Microsoft’s announcement that it will cease support for the venerable XP platform in 2014.
I’m maintaining a partition with XP, mostly for the occasional gaming, and, it looks like, production software (video editing in Linux is awful). I’ll have to figure out how to harden it further.
Doing work efficiently is what keeps me on Windows—it’s the only platform with WordPerfect these days, I believe. I have an XP VM and a separate, old desktop machine that runs it, though the latter I may switch to Vista (I’ll have to purchase the extra licence). There’s one part of me that is thinking I should just give that last XP PC away—I’m already giving away several (both from myself and a friend) so what’s one more?
