Good! XP is now considered "ghetto". It's antiquated, slower and less productive and did I say "ghetto"??? XP users, IMO and from those I've come across are ghetto too. Cheap S.O.B.s too cheap to upgrade the hardware from 11 years ago and therefore too cheap to upgrade the software. I.E. "Ghetto"

Get with the NOOOOOWWWWWWW!

i still use an old version of photoshop.think its version 6 or 7.i only use it for very basic picture editting and all the features i need are there.
i have also noticed on the old version of photoshop features are slow even with my computer which i consider decent.hopefully with the new version its optimised to work on windows 7 and multicore pcs to decrease loading times.

A lot of any speedup will simply be 64-bit vs. 32-bit.

....and.....nobody cared.

Anyone who can't (or chooses not to) afford the Windows upgrade was never going to buy Photoshop anyway.

The vast majority of computer users don't need Photoshop, don't need anything better than Windows XP, and don't need late model hardware. Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter don't require much horsepower and why use Photoshop to edit a photo that most people take using their mobile phone? Just tweak it with Instagram.

its not that its good bad or ugly,its just that it isnt contemporary anymore.with the intro of win8 that makes 3 operating systems since xp.dont get me wrong i loved xp and was quick to respond to what i thought was a diss from hearme0.but,while his bedside manner may suck,hes absolutely right.it really is time to move on.

I still run XP on my backup pc and see nothing wrong with it.I am not cheap but why upgrade something if it works and has for some time and I like the way it works.New isnt always better just different.
