Who's still using XP, and do you have any plans to upgrade to Vista/7/8?
I use a Mac. But I used to run an XP vm in it till March 31.
Used it all the time and was not happy that I would need to update.
Fast and snappy, that xp.
I installed a new vm with windows 7 on apr 1 and shed a tear at the burial of my beloved xp. I've got to say I'm impressed with w7 too.
It took up more disk space but performance isn't bad at all even when compared to xp (I run them both using the same memory and CPU limits and in performance optimized mode).
What can I say. It's only been a week since the xp burial but I'm already dating this new OS and it's looking like a long lasting affair.
