End of Support Windows XP and Office 2003 - April 2014
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/endofsupport.aspx regards, Tusker21
This why everyone should go Linux... XP was and still is one of the best Operating Systems ever built, especially for rapid deployment, administration and management where you have many machines. But Microsoft wants to make more money on windows7 and 8.

@Wash, the correct response to your quiz actually varies with your skills and understanding of the said systems. Martin.

I too agree with Martin. And so, Kibui Maina's assertion that "This why everyone should go Linux..." doesn't hold any water, right? It's pure nonsense. On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 06:19, maina <dmaishe@gmail.com> wrote:

@Wash, Linux is not really the end all-be all solution to every computing problem. Correct me if am wrong, I know at least Ebay and StackOverflow (plus the rest of the Stack* network) run on the Windows infrastructure pretty successfully. Of course with Microsoft.com itself, ever since they stopped using a cluster of FreeBSD boxes to perform their names resolution ....... Just use the best tool for the job and life will be so smooth :D Martin.
Agreed too. And from some discussions on this list recently, on usability, Linux is such a generic term. On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 11:14, Martin Chiteri <martin.chiteri@gmail.com>wrote:
