On October 25th, 2001, marks the beginning of Windows XP, the most successful (one might say overly successful) OSes ever created for its time. It was so successful that even after 10 years, many computers still run Windows XP. So I thank Windows XP for it’s long servitude for the past 10 years, and many best wishes to be put in the grave to Rest In Peace.
For those still using Windows XP, please upgrade to Windows 7 or buy a new computer with Windows 7? Let’s all help Windows XP rest in peace.
