Window XP is over 13 years old & I find it amazing that Microsoft supported it for so long. I reminisce about my days with the federal government and I remember the huge arguments that I used to have with management & co-workers urging them to stick with XP & not upgrade to that disaster of an OS called Windows Vista. It wasn’t that I had any special emotional connection to either one of those Operating Systems I just realized that our lives would be easier if we just stuck with XP and waited for Windows 7 to be released. I’m glad that we waited because I watched other organizations decide to deploy Windows Vista enterprise wide and it was a huge #FAIL.
I’ve built many applications on & for Windows XP and I will admit that the OS wasn’t at all bad. It really did serve its purpose and it’s long service life speaks volumes. I mean 13+ years of “support” is unheard of in technology and we’ll probably never see something like that again at least not from Microsoft anyway.

As for Windows XP, on April 8, 2014 I'll be pouring a little something out of my forty.
RIP Windows XP 2001 - 2014
Viva!!! Linux
