I think I'll continue to use XP on my laptop and in Parallels thankyouverymuch

By the time XP dies, perhaps there will be OSX equivalents of my windows only software.

One caution on XP: the very kernel of the OS is no longer secure. Microsoft has literally patched the kernel to the point that any further patching could cause the system to stop booting. They’re dedicating almost no support to the OS for any future development.

At least, do yourself a favor and download Ubuntu Linux. It’s incredibly user friendly and more secure than XP ever was. Plus, it’s free.

Windows XP, I will always have fond memories

Of course about 37% of PC's on Earth still use Windpws XP.
