Hi, The conclusions I would make is to keep XP supported for at least a year. MS drops it April 2014, let's review it then again.
Note that for OSX we already dropped 10.5, which is still about 3% of the visitors. When it comes to very old hardware or graphics card we do have to accept limits too though... but for projects this year I don't see a huge problem really. -Ton- -------------------------------------------------------- Ton Roosendaal - [email protected] - www.blender.org Chairman Blender Foundation - Producer Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A - 1018AD Amsterdam - The Netherlands On 19 May, 2013, at 12:28, Ton Roosendaal wrote: > Hi, > > OK here are the others too, fun to see: > > http://www.blender.org/bf/Browser_Linux_Analytics.pdf > http://www.blender.org/bf/Browser_OSX_Analytics.pdf > > Browser type: > http://www.blender.org/bf/Browser_Analytics.pdf > > -Ton- > > -------------------------------------------------------- > Ton Roosendaal - [email protected] - www.blender.org > Chairman Blender Foundation - Producer Blender Institute > Entrepotdok 57A - 1018AD Amsterdam - The Netherlands > > > > On 19 May, 2013, at 12:22, Ton Roosendaal wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Here's the last month of Windows visitors for blender.org: >> http://www.blender.org/bf/Browser_OS_Analytics.pdf >> >> One million visits, 70% win7, 14% XP still. >> >> -Ton- >> >> -------------------------------------------------------- >> Ton Roosendaal - [email protected] - www.blender.org >> Chairman Blender Foundation - Producer Blender Institute >> Entrepotdok 57A - 1018AD Amsterdam - The Netherlands >> >> >> >> On 19 May, 2013, at 3:07, bjornmose wrote: >> >>> Well our statistics on world wide professionals ( using scientific >>> measuring software ) says: >>> >>> 10% win7, 50% win XP, very few vista the remains even older :) >>> and we do full support down to W2k.
