Still no support for XP?
Does v9 support XP? I think it does not and never will... Microsoft is forcing the moving on...

It is also shooting itself in the foot, as XP still has 53% of the OS market share. It choose not to support it, I can't imagine any commercial company ditching that amount of potential clients; it just pushes them to a competitor, firefox, chrome, etc. which do still support XP (without the hardware acceleration feature), crazy if you ask me.

Hear hear!

Sorry to continue this O/T stuff, but the reason that Microsoft isn't supporting IE9 on XP has been stated previously.  They want you to upgrade to the newer OSes.  Frankly, I can't blame them since XP is extremely old.  It was released on Dec 31, 2001 after all.  It's almost 2012.  Yes, there are a lot of XP machines out there, but most of them are getting quite slow and a lot will be replaced soon, most likely.

My machine runs fine with XP. Should XP become corrupted or fail, I will install Linux!  :)

Well, to each their own, and I don't blame you. I have used or am using pretty much all OS's (except MAC of course) and I completely agree.  I like Win 7 though, just not for business or school use because it sucks for old educational programs.  It's not MS's fault though, just poor coding.  Anyway, good luck with Linux and anything else non-MS!  I fully support you.

I would never run Linux and I never have. I like Windows but I am disappointed IE9 won't run on XP.
