I heard from a friend of mine that Windows XP will stop production in April 2014, so best get a laptop while you still can! And make sure you can upgrade to Windows 8.1, too, as well as finding new antivirus.
 
I can't even......I just.....dude!!!! Dafaq???
 
They're stopping support for it, they probably haven't produced XP in freaking years. You can still buy laptops, you can probably still find some with 7, but most have the 8 OS.

They've made it for the past 11 years, but now they're moving on. Says so from Microsoft themselves.
 
Okaaaaaaaaay. Explain your logic of why people should rush out and get a laptop "while they still can"

This should be good. I going to get popcorn. Brb

Maybe to enjoy what time is left with Windows 7 before it gets more complicated? I have a source that says that Windows 8/8.1 is causing problems for people, and I've not had problems with mine, but those with the newer technology have been having plenty of problems.

You have 7, you don't have XP, you don't even have Vista. Don't worry about it, you're fine, you'll still get updates.
 
Who the hell goes out and buys a laptop looking for Windows XP these days?! *facepalm*

I can't come up with a nice way to say what I want to say soooooo nevermind.

I will say I bought a laptop and CPU with 8 on it last February, so almost a year. No problems. Easy peasy
