I haven't been tracking that as a trend over time, but if 7.8 were to be the last client supporting Windows XP we would be ok with that. Most Windows XP users and projects would be able to continue to accept contributions from them using the last version of the client that support Windows XP for several years. We still have a surprising number of users using the BOINC 6.10 client. However, I don't know if 2013 (or newer) offers any advantages over 2010 so I'm not making a recommendation or proposal - just citing some information. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list boinc_dev@ssl.berkeley.edu https://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
