Wahhh! No IE9 for you, XP Users.

by robo_dev . Updated 15 years, 3 months ago

I know, get a life, XP is ten years old, it’s time to move on.

But I really like XP.

It just works.

I know XP inside and out, it’s like a familiar old friend, a faithful companion, like a loyal dog that lies at your feet and greets you when you come home. So now I have to put XP out to pasture…let it die a sad death alone in the cold while the peppy and perky new Windows 7 OS takes it’s place. (sob, sniff)

As you may already know, the fancy new Internet Explorer version 9 will not work on XP.

Whether making IE9 work on XP was an insurmountable technical hurdle for Microsoft, or whether this is their way of nudging XP towards the ‘pages of history’, I don’t know.

Alas poor XP, I knew thee well….
