News No extension: Windows XP D-Day arrives Monday, June 30

Reaction score
125
After delays, delays, and rumors of more delays, the era of Windows XP has finally reached its final hours. Microsoft has made it official: Monday, June 30 will be the last day Microsoft sells XP to the masses. In fact, some companies have already stopped offering XP as an option on new machines as they prep for the switchover.

Earlier rumors that Microsoft might extend the sales date have proven untrue, as Microsoft has reiterated that, indeed, June 30 will be the final sales date cut-off for the product. That's it. It's a Vista world now.

They are cancelling a system they admit to be better than Vista...so they can sell more Vista? FUCK THAT!
 
Looks like I was right. Windows XP shall be the new Linux.
I better learn to code.....
 
I'll will use XP until the day some programmer types "for (;;WinXPNuke("*.*.*.*"));".
 
I meant to create my own drivers.

It's a pity, better they fix little more on vista first before they take down XP :mad:
Well good the Drivers still be made, otherwise ppl hunting them if they dont.
 
So, XP is no longer going to live to see the 2009 New Year's Celebration, eh?

Darn, *holding a Bible book in XP's hands*, I pray that Lord give XP strength, and that XP can see what will his son (Vista) will do here on Earth. I pray that Lord give XP a rest in peace. Amen. *Taking away the Bible Book, while XP thankfully bids me goodbye*
 
Okay tom, just how high were you?
I should go create an image of my Win XP disc....
 
Uh...A plain high?

Anyway, good luck with your image disc. :thup:
 
Mac sucks. Plain and simple, you just need to come to terms with your XP love.
 
^

I disagree.

Macs are good if you know nothing about computers and don't care what your computer parts are or how good your graphic card is.

Windows XP is for people that know what they're doing.
 
So you're pretty much saying that something rocks as long as people don't know it sucks?

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
