Chrome will drop support for Windows Vista and XP in April 2016. Firefox still supports Windows versions all the way back to XP SP2. About 14% of Firefox users still run XP!



Maybe it's time to stop running a 10+ year old operating system?


Maybe, maybe not.

Some people are running programs that won't work on newer versions of Windows, and they would be using XP Mode anyway.

Others just do Web stuff and Firefox is really their OS.


Only those with Windows 7/8 can get the free upgrade to 10 and W7/W8 themselves aren't free, which could be a factor to some.


Why? It does the jobs well enough
