Speaking as an IT support business owner: you're off base on all counts.

XP users are generally boxed in. Most of them already have newer computers, but can't ditch the old XP box because it cant be replaced or costs too much to replace.

Windows 8 is not an "upgrade" to anything. I spend a lot of time helping people get their hands on Win7 boxen.

Copiers don't have compatibility issues with new paper and toner, extrememly weak analogy.

You don't seem to understand how OEM licensing and activation codes work. OEM licenses activating automatically is not the same as a free copy.

The fact that MS chooses not to include a fully-functional XP virtual machine in each and every copy of win8 is obnoxious and borderline criminal. Smells like a decision that fat faggot Ballmer would have made.

I realize that even this would not solve all the antique XP problems, but it would solve the majority.

(offtopic) I often imagine the goodwill that MS would generate if they offered all Win8 users a free "downgrade" to win7. Add to this the aforementioned VM and I think even slashdotters might say nice things about them.

Facebook is kind of an engorged pustule on the ass of humanity.

2B? In Zuckerfag's dreams. Maybe a tenth of that.

Screw Dr Watson, that stupid program totally failed to fix my Windows 3.11 back in 1995.

"Indeed it does!", say the maggots and microbes eating the decomposing bodies.

turning a super-stodgy old HP-VUE desktop into wild ornate Giger nightmare with rust holes in the window frames. Too bad it was so unstable. What was that, 15 years ago, and it's now on 0.19? Good times in the server room. Wish I had a mod point for you today.

Pretty sure you can do a factory reset on most android phones.

Aren't SF libtard fuckwits the people responsible for inflicting that filthy fascist cunt Feinstein on America?
Fuck SF, fuck the bay area. (I lived there for 15 years for the record.)

Currently treason is defined as: "Not supporting Obama". The irony is rich.

No, we weren't. Evidence: If we had been the Lamestream Propaganda Media wouldn't be spewing hate at us 24/7.

Above: Obama's amazing fail power, it can mod an AC post +5 insightful on /.
