Replying to [comment:2 yawning]:
> Extended support for XP apart from embedded variants ended on
2014/04/08, which was over two years ago. If people haven't updated or
switched by now, I doubt anything that we say would convince them to
change their mind. Extended support for Vista ends in April 2017, but I'd
be willing to bet that there are more XP users than Vista users.
Not always upgrading your operating system is an option, lot of people in
Brazil, China, India and some places in africa can't update they Windows
version by hardware limitations or other motif. Want to upgrade is
different from being able to update
Here in Brazil there are people using old hardware, sometimes hardware
with 10 years ago, this hardware can't be update, but can run GNU/Linux
like Tails.
Is interesting to explain those people how use Tails GNU/Linux, and show
how easy it's to use with a USB stick or one CD-ROM.
