    Default The Retiring of Windows XP

    So I'm pretty sure everyone knows that this happened on the 8th of this month.

    Has anyone upgraded to Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 and if so does it work with all sites MFC, AW, Chaturbate,SM,Naked...

    Are there any super techy people that can explain the benefits of Win 8.1 to 8 or even 7. I also noticed Vista isn't being sold anymore and Win 7 is somewhat being phased out slowly since more computers being sold today mostly offer Win 8.

    SM and Imlive work for me and I'm on Windows 8. ( I tried 8.1 and omg I had to do a system restore after that, nothing worked with it, they have too many bugs to work out yet) I do just use the desktop part of 8, the app side of it is ridiculous to me and overloaded with unneeded crap, but maybe one day they'll straighten that out as well.

    XP?! Should have retired long ago!

    I have windows 8.1 and work SM and AW. Everything is fine.

    I also use the desktop part of windows 8. The tiles are stupid (although would be good on a touchscreen computer, sure). My only complaint of Windows 8 if that I often accidentally bring up shite on my screen by moving my cursor too close to the edge of the screen.

    I'm rather not tech saavy and I found learning 8.1 to be not too bad. There are always youtube tutorials on any questions you have.

    I love Windows 8 because it supports touch screen monitors. I hate Windows 8 because it hogs processor and memory. Thus Windows 8 works fine with my relatively new AlienWare desktop, but it brought my Toshiba laptop to a virtual crawl ( forcing me to reinstall Win 7 Pro ) even though that laptop has an I7 processor.

    I've had Windows 8.1 since they released it....Streamate, AdultWork, Cams, and Chaturbate are the only sites I've tried and they all work fine

    You can install something in windows 8 that makes it look a bit like windows XP! *has a rummage around*
    It's called Classic Shell and it allows you to do things like choose a start menu and customize the explorer.

    I got rid of all the programs or apps that come preinstalled with 8.1
    I only stay in the desktop screen and put all my programs I need to use on my desktop or pin them to my bar.
    If I do need to go to start I just type in the search what I need.


    We are creatures of habit. XP was wonderful and layed out perfectly imo. Transitioning to vista was a bitch, and 7 kind went back to the XP layout which I liked. That is why I like Apple's OS. The layout and navigation has been the same for 20 years. If it ain't broke don't fix it. But Windows wants to be hip.
