RIP Windows XP - The clock is ticking

Is the support just updates and stuff? The OS should still be fully functional.

Yes, it will still function.

I guess you could say they "ironed out" the flaws ;)

I don't get why microsoft don't give you the option to use the new metro thing as a replacement for the desktop background, I would use that.

Unless if you can do that?


This seems pretty neato too

putting this on my laptop asap

i put windows 8 on my laptop recently just for the hell of it, and while i have no issue using the new start menu it's just really only fit for mice and touchscreen use.  using it with a trackpad just doesn't really go well for me.
