Re: the audience for XP

[J R FOX jr_fox@xxxxxxxxxx]

One other thing to note is that with each subsequent release of Windows, MS has increasingly "locked down" the OS -- in the guise of enhanced security -- which tends to hobble (if not quite shackle) those users who don't want to have to keep skirting roadblocks on what they can do or how.  I'm talking about stuff like UAC and required levels of authorized control *above* 'Adminstrator.'  Getting around some of these things when necessary can become a royal PITA.

Apparently not. XP still has a (much!) larger market share than
Windows 8. Its share of the market is almost as high as Win 7's.
