[issue14901] Python Windows FAQ is Very Outdated
by Daniel Swanson 02 Jun '12

02 Jun '12

Daniel Swanson <popcorn.tomato.dude(a)gmail.com> added the comment: >>> 1a) Update all Windows references to Windows 7 or Vista/7. We can include XP, but I think Microsoft is dropping support next year. According to wikipedia Windows XP is the second most popular operating system, probably better not to drop it all together. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems Of course there are people who have 5 or 6 computers and use the same windows disk on all of them which might skew the data. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14901> _______________________________________
