st3 will not support xp

[cacciatorino]

yesterday I downloaded the installer of the st2 and among the various accompanying notes it was written that the next release st3 will not support windows xp, so you can not install on this operating system.
I'm going to be wrong, but it's the last chance marketing siemens makes the wrong decision...

Maybe it will support linux...... .

I think they're doing just because people change the cad because they don't want to develop it anymore and apologize for not supporting a s.o. He can do it for them.

They are digging the pit with their hands. I will ask more specific information to support and then set up the manager of my office that manages maintenance, licenses, etc.

usually when the operating system is "dismissed" is because the same microsoft no longer maintains it on the specific one obs

xp will be supported by microsoft until 2014, i.e. st6 or 7 as a minimum!

exact until 2014, however from what I understood will be under update regarding security failures, but will no longer be developed better or integrations to the s.o. that is why the zimensss decided to abandon this s.o. I am convinced that they will return on their own steps.

I do not think that companies and users using siemens products will pass from xp to 7 already within 1 year. microsoft according to their forecasts speak that the boom of passage from xp to 7 will be in 2011-12 for which not in short term. I resize or people will stop at st2, nx6 or 7, etc. that still support xp, as long as they do not move to the new s.o.

So I don't know if he'll lose a mountain of money in updates and new licenses like this. they have already made a nice flop with the synchronous environment (many have taken away from maintenance and renewal of licenses) if then the problem of the s.o. He's really digging his own grave.
