I'm talking about Microsoft ending support for them.

It was probably posted on a computer with X Windows, so there's that
(Unless poni posted it from his phone or tablet, lol)
actually the computer I posted it from, canopus, runs Windows. For now, at least. I might let it take aldebaran's place when it chokes, which unfortunately it's pretty close to doing.
Microsoft is lucky. Enterprise software developers often have to support platforms for a good half a decade afterward because their clients don't like upgrading their comically old equipment. God forbid you live in a small town -- the library near where I used to live still runs Windows 98.

Hey!
Don't insult Novus Computador! Windows 95 is still good!
Seriously, what would you think of La Computadora, which still works and can run internet?

Do you ever have anything that makes you think "oh god, I'm probably the only person in the world who remembers that?"
In Windows XP RTM and SP1, Home and Pro had different splash screens. The former said "Windows XP Home Edition" and had a green progress bar animation; the latter said "Windows XP Professional" and had a blue progress bar.
For whatever reason, with Service Pack 2, both versions had a generic splash screen that just said "Windows XP" and had a blue progress bar animation.
I always wondered why they changed that, of all things...
There's probably something out there that'll let you do that, but I don't personally think it's worth modifying and potentially breaking your entire boot sector just to change the images that it shows at startup.

But it's funnier to refer to it as a death. :P

What does it mean to end support?
Existing XP systems won't magically shut down or anything. But they'll rapidly bitrot.
