No More Windows XP?????

myth: windows xp will not disappear from your computer because MS is no longer supporting it.  I hear that daily from customers.  They think they will go turn on their computer and POOF! no OS aka operating system.  Many think they have to go to Windows 8.1.  This is not true. Ubuntu/linux is a free OS that works great from a bootable USB or CD.  Also you can upgrade to Windows 7 if you are not fond of windows (8) 8.1.  I have a macbook and I can even use Ubuntu from a usb stick flash drive.  My mac OS X still works fine but it is a free option to use linux.  Great website for How To Linux is http://www.pendrivelinux.com/tag/usb-ubuntu/
