ITT: People who just read the headlines and not the article, and then going off on their own Windows rant/Linux evangelism instead of discussing the article.
A someone running a proxmox cluster on my gaming PCs, why not just use all of the above? Hell, I still have an XP VM on there somewhere for some particularly grouchy games.
Don't see a need, basically. What games require XP though? So far all my old games still work on 10.
XP was the last Windows OS that supported 16 bit code if I recall correctly, so there's that. Although most games that needed that are better off with something like DOSbox.
Ah yes, I suppose there's that, and I've been running the really old games on Dosbox too.
