Windows XP support ends today
« on: April 08, 2014, 07:26:28 PM »
Today marks the end of an era.  The day when XP, one of the most popular windows operating systems to date, is no longer supported.


Let us take a moment to remember the love and frustration it brought us.

Grannies everywhere will be shocked and appalled that they can no longer call an Indian man to remote into their computer and help them load online scrabble for free.

I hope your mum likes learning obscure code to do simple tasks.

Your program is very attractive, but I value my freedom more. So my mother rejects your program.

Doesn't matter. She won't be doing anything that requires any knowledge. Shouldn't matter what distro you use when all you need is a working web browser to browse facebook and look at cat videos/pictures with.

No, but Debian is the only distro I'm familiar with.

No, everyone knows you need a $3000 MacBook Pro to do that.

Nope.  A $600 Mac Mini will do just fine.
