Discontinuing support for 10% of users sounds like shrinking 10% of customers, lay off 10% of employees, reduce 10% of funds for investments. - Is really necessary to abandon all XP users? - Is possible to discontinue the most hard to support components? Somenthing like "Video conferencing will not work in XP" or like is planned for flash. - Is possible restrict the user base affected? Like only XP SP2 and older... - Someone has the statistics details of this "10% user base" for supporting this decision? What service pack? Where they are? What are the demographics numbers? How often the browse web? - Someone has the numbers for what is the cost for this burden? I see how Mozilla is important for open web and how firefox user base is shrinking. This worries me. Maybe hiring one or two developers for supporting this user base is cheaper than loosing these users. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
