Want iCloud With Windows? Ditch the XP

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-linux dept.

halfEvilTech writes "Microsoft isn't the only company denying equal online footing to Windows XP users. Apple will not give PC users access to iCloud – its great digital locker in the sky – if their machines are running Microsoft's aging but still popular Windows XP. Tucked at the bottom of the iCloud announcement, Apple says you'll need a PC running Windows Vista or Windows 7 to jump into Steve Jobs' version of the interwebs."

    Someone explain to me why I would want to use iCloud? Or anything from Apple for that matter?

    I'm not a Windows fanboy. I just hate Apple more.

    If Wine worked perfectly, I'd switch to Linux in a second.

    you'll need a PC running Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Is this "Windows 7 or above"? Because I'm 91 versions ahead.

    Let me rephrase that for you:

    "No WinXP. Less space than an Amazon Cloud Drive. Lame."

    Is that about right?
