Millions in Asia still on Windows XP

Not just Asia, I've yet to find something that I need beyond XP for, and the US government uses XP everywhere.

(though Firefox lack of mpeg4 support is annoying because we don't have windows media foundation on XP)

Will grudgingly look at Windows 7 in 2014 when security fixes cease.

One example: (As far as I know,) XP doesn't have TRIM support, and this makes SSDs on that platform far less less attractive.

In one of my previous jobs(Sempra Energy), the work issue laptop had Vista logo, but the IT guys gut it and install XP. My current default desktop at DirecTV has XP, and I started my job last March.

I also see Windows XP on a surprisingly number of POS machines (point of sale, not the other ;)

I also see OS/2 on some ATMs.

I'm interested, are you talking about for your own personal use or do you manage IT for a company?
