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.

    Troll? Is there some new bug in slashcode that automatically and randomly doles out troll mods?
