Windows XP, made by Microsoft, has not been sold for several years. Microsoft does no new development on XP, and only a bit of limited bug fix and security updating. There new development and serious updating is on their current Microsoft operating systems, Vista and Windows 7 and 8. XP is really archaic, and the main reason people stick with it is because Microsoft has not been very adept at bringing new operating systems to the market that take advantage of the new technologies, that people are interested in using. So, many Microsoft XP users are like drivers of 1986 Ford Taureses. They like their car. It works. It may take a lot time keeping it on the road. But they dislike the uppity people who suggest that maybe it’s time to trade in the 1986 Taurus. There is nothing wrong with driving a beater or using an archaic computer which is frequently invaded by strange viruses and requires hours to get it running again. You can even take pride in the fact that you are able to keep that dinosaur running.
