Goodbye, Windows XP.

**~~Crimean~~** · 07-22-2019, 03:14 PM

I am writing a little late, but that's okay, fans of this system do not pursue the freshest.
Goodbye, Windows XP (2001-2014 (9 April, 2019 for embedded)).
In the memory of many people, it will remain the best Microsoft creation, the fastest, most stable and lightweight operating system with the longest official support period in history (18 years).
People that were born the year XP came out are now graduating from high school and have become old enough to go vote, join the military, work full-time, and live lives of their own. Incredible how time flies.
Now Windows XP will live out its life without support on millions of computers around the world until the death of the hardware on which it was installed.
Put a thumbs up, if your golden youth fell on the days of domination of Windows XP!

I didn't used Win XP for long period (that time I started using more Linux) but I heard many people say how neat OS it was. Perhaps they were just sentimental.

The company is too big, I don't see it happens.

It wasn't my prognosis, rather my wish.

I loved Win 98 Second edition.

The reason I'm just saying it because they are no longer just OS company only. They are building (or rather acquiring) different kinds of programs, like Skype or github, which is why I said they're too big. I also don't like them and I have stopped to publishing to github when it switched owner.
