Who's still running XP? Microsoft decided to drop XP support from their next development solution (Visual Studio 11). Applications build with this version will no longer run on XP. This applies to apps like XCC Game Spy (and other XCC tools) and the RA2 patch.
I have the impression that quite a lot of people are still using XP.

Yeah, it does fall into those XP/W7 regions at the moment. Why don't you just use an older version of the studio?? I doubt they added THAT many good features to it.

I got visual studio 10 myself, but I'm clueless how to use it or even open source files.

Range-based for (C++11) is a feature I'd like to use. Quite a lot of other stuff has been added too. Being able to use the latest version is just nice.

Who's still on XP?
Support from MS has officially ended now.
What are your plans?

Many governments are paying Millions of $ to extend the support. I don't see why, they should have seen it coming. Unprepared springs to mind.

I still use DOS! (but only for old games)

Just like with previous operating systems (since DOS 5.0), I plan to hold on to Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit until EVERYTHING I use/play works on a newer OS... or until Microsoft Midori is released :D
