    Default Windows 8.1

    Will it have xp mode? I am trying to get a old plotter working on windows 8, but there are no drivers for it.

    There's no going back.

    The final piece of MDOP news: with less than 22 months left to go before Windows XP end-of-support, and strong application compatibility between Windows 7 and Windows 8, we will not invest in Windows 8 support for Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V). MED-V is an important part of MDOP and customers around the world, such as Applied Materialsand Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., are using MED-V to smooth their transition from Windows XP to Windows 7 – a more modern version of Windows. If MED-V is part of your Windows modernization plans, there’s no need to stop what you’re doing. MED-V remains supported on Windows 7.

    Windows Me...the "More Errors" edition.

    I can't stand Windows 8...and the .1 "Blue" turd polish won't change my mind.

    Im still using windows xp. Love it. Highly stable and all my aquired software will not run on any newer windows programs. $1000s of dollars of graphics and vinyl cutting software that I can not replace.

    ...and XP support ends 4-8-14. No more security patches after that date.

    7 is much better than 8. No need to go past 7 until the next one comes out.

    I enjoy my 7, and things like this make me inclined to avoid getting 8.
