Microsoft Finally Ends Supporting XP in 2014

All I can say is...FINALLY!!!  Time for an 11 year old operating system to finally be put to rest.  XP was a great operating system, I can't say that I haven't had some great times with this guy.  Oh the days of Kazaa and stealing music and videos, I was 10 so I had no idea what I was doing but I sure couldn't have done this without XP.  To quote cracked.com "It's like Microsoft named Windows XP perfectly because they couldn't live up to its enormous success with Vista, so XP is literally forms a smiley with closed eyes and is sticking its tongue out at Vista."  Basically this OS stayed around so long because when people saw Vista they had to start to pretend to like XP all over again.
We will miss you XP.
