The end of Windows XP - Page 2

I have a nearly ten year old XP based computer that I use as a dedicated video server. It is networked with all our laptops, and we stream Netflix via a hardwire ATT connection to it, and play downloaded movies on it. It also uploads my weather station data 24/7 (http://www.wunderground.com/weathers...p?ID=KMORAYTO4).

I've been hearing XP death knells for a long time, and in fact, I haven't seen an XP update on it for a few months now. But, until something takes it down in pain and flames, it does fine.

Update to my last post. My XP machine is now downloading new updates from MS, so...XP not dead yet. Perhaps MS knows that most of what they've done since then is ripoff crap?
