Time To Dump XP?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wasn't-that-ship-date dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Gartner is saying it's time to plan your migration now (if you havent already done it). I for one know my company still has loads of users still on XP, citing training costs (time and money) rather than software license fees. Is my company alone in wanting to stay in the 1990s or is Windows 7 the way forward?"

    Uh... yes? no?

    The OR version of "or" that computer scientists creates a question for which the answer provides little relevant information. The XOR version of "or" that is the popular meaning in spoken english has similar problems.

    Mods, please explain how a first post can possibly be "Redundant"?

    A comment that has been posted repeatedly in stories A, B, C, and D, is probably redundant in story E even if it is the first post.

      Fixed that for you.

      mods, please mod parent as redundant

    Conversely, now calculate how much money that company has lost by working with inefficient computers for a very long period of time.
