XP exit stage left to applause

Sometime next week I'll make the leap from WinXP SP3 to Win8.1 as in, I won't have anything running XP natively on any home kit and the WinXP kit will retire to a long, active and happy Linux life.

I've stood for XP continuation through use for a while, this is the swansong for me.

There are a handful of other Win XP users here, to them I say goodnight and thank you for the journey.

To everyone else that bore with me and others, thank you for your time.
