No one drives cars with leaded fuel for their daily commute. Some technologies fall by the way side as the better ones replace them. Security and compatibility reasons are incentive enough to keep your OS up to date. No one is complaining that they can't use DOS 5.0 anymore, it just seems to be Windows XP and will probably be Windows 7. Some of the fault lies with microsoft for selling old licenses so long and for bungling Vista's and Windows 8 releases. But for XP users there is absolutely no reason to not be running Windows 7. Its a proven operating system that's been out for 5 years. If you want to stick with XP, like the leaded-fuel driving car owner recognize that support will be vanishing because you are using something that is well behind the times and you are burden on developers.
