Yea right....... Heard that broken record promise one two many times. I still have licenses all the way up to XP and osx 4.x, I stopped paying the microsoft and apple taxes after that. I still use pentium II's for servers and other home automation projects. Still use my single core p4 equivalents for desktops. All my equipment run some kind of nix variant except for a token machine that still runs XP. It usually sits in the closet. So a pII is still current equipment for me. I would dare M$ to get w8 to run on a p2. I know it will never happen. Except for purchasing a chumby and a router. I have not bought a new computer in years, Everything works as I need it too. I will eventually need to get new equipment, but it will be my choice not Redmond's.
