Windows XP: Pros and Cons of Not Upgrading
Windows XP users, your favorite operating system is a decade old, and if you're still using it, you're not cool anymore, at least according to Microsoft. That’s the software giant’s recent take on its aging OS, which is still more popular than Vista or Windows 7 worldwide. Microsoft is hoping the final cadre of users hanging on to XP will start to dump it and move to the more modern Windows 7.
"Windows XP just turned 10 years old ... 10 years is a long time to have the same old technology," Microsoft's Kristina Libby said in a recent blog post. Libby also included an infographic in her post showing you how out of date XP users are. Ten years ago, people were carrying flip phones and watching “Friends” on TV. Now they’ve got iPhones (oops, Windows Phones) and watching “Modern Family.”
