R.I.P. Windows XP. (August 24, 2001 - April 08, 2014)


Recommended Posts

Windows XP was such a great operating system, especially at the time it was released. Whether it's about the stability, the features, or the performance, it was no wonder that people held on to XP, even after the releases of latter Windows OSes.

But as of today, Microsoft is no longer supporting the 12+ year old operating system, leaving Windows users with Vista (which has three more years going for it), W7 (which has 53/4 more years going for it) , and W8 (which has 83/4 more years).

Also, in before "Windows sucks, Macintosh and/or Linux FTW"

It's sickeningly ironic that 4/08/2014 also happens to be the day of the new Smash direct, and that when I try to load that Smash direct's video (which is still technically supposed to load a countdown window even though it's not up yet) it says to upgrade my version of Windows and Internet Explorer. =(

Someone made this as a response for Windows XP shutting down. It's fairly large, so I'll spoiler tag it.

I've got fond memories of Windows XP, as it lasted me all throughout high school. Goodbye, old friend. You will be dearly missed.

No matter how times I hear it, it still surprises me that people use Internet Explorer.

XP was great, especially since 98 was so terrible

having an OS that didn't randomly blue screen on my face was absolutely amazing

reep in peace
