Windows XP users maybe aren't the best clients of your product or the clients who will pay for it. Nobody with ancient stuff can pretend to have the whole tech advancements.
Windows XP users aren't able to install many, many things nowadays, what make you think they will be shocked to know they're really can see the majority of the websites well.
The other day i was demoing a friend my old macbook (2002) and all the major websites were simply, broken. We didn't have any "omg look". It's normal to experiment this before they enter your website.
- rschmitty 13y agoWindows XP users are our best clients who pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, as they are stuck in the corporate world of "no upgrades!" Sadly the apps we build for them for the public see very little actual IE8 use... I'm hopeful 2014 death of XP comes true, but I won't be surprised if actual death doesnt happen until 2015
- meerita 13y agoI said maybe. Maybe they're not. Maybe they're just not fit to use a "revolutionary product" that requieres dozens of lines of JS that requieres modern browsers or worst anything else.
- dagw 13y agoBack when I worked for a company selling expensive software and services to large companies and government agencies, I quickly learnt that there is zero correlation between how much a department is willing to spend on hardware and how much they are willing to spend on software running on those computers. Signing off on a $20000 software license while refusing to replace an ancient 19" lcd screens is perfectly normal as hardware and software normally come from two different budgets and procured entirely differently.
