I meant I wouldn't blame MS and others for not wanting to support XP anymore. No matter how good or bad 7 or 8.-rgdot (June 11, 2014, 08:24 AM)
I can understand Microsoft not wanting to support it, since they are not going to make any more money from XP if they do or don't, so they might as well not, and push XP users into upgrading and putting more money in their pockets. That does make sense.
What I don't understand is 3rd party developers that make their money off supporting their apps running on whatever platforms their customers are using. If there are still a large chunk of people running XP, why turn them away from buying and using your software, by not supporting XP? Flushing all that cash down the toilet is kind of self-defeating, don't you think?-app103 (June 11, 2014, 10:20 AM)
The time to criticize MS (and by extension those who build MS tools) for dropping XP support is long gone. The inferiority of any successor doesn't make it ok to expect extended support. If the successors are poor, find an alternative. If alternatives don't exist hold your nose and move to that inferior successor.-rgdot (June 10, 2014, 01:32 PM)

To my mind the best alternative to Truecrypt is ... Truecrypt.
