End of support for Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista RTM

if yall like xp then check out win7 ultimate. i have win7 home premium and i like it.

I'm not so clear as to your point as most here will be Win7 users anyway. If you mean to say if you like the W7 home then you'd like the ultimate it makes more sense but XP and any version of 7 are quite a lot different. So an XP user making the change to W7 will find it a learning curve irrespective of which version of W7 it is.

m1r2hud, you don't have to go all the way to ultimate, Microsoft's Virtual PC - XP mode is actually available at the Professional level. And Virtual PC - XP mode will still be supported because it would be at SP3.

Basically Nibs is just reminding anyone that has XP (32) SP2 by itself, as a dual-boot w/ W7, or in a Virtual mode that does not get automatic updates, that they need to upgrade to SP3 to be under MS Support.

i use to have windows 2000 pro, then went with xp for years. in 2009 bought acer laptop with vista, vista was different in all aspects but was a lot easier to find files. had problems with three of acer software making changes tho. bought full version of win7 home. i like it alot more than xp. even like internet explorer 9. but i play games on pogo and people with xp are having problems with games loading and people on win7 dont.
