I'm fairly sure that Bill was referring to the fact that Microsoft is
not supporting WinXP in any way, shape or form, thus obsolete.
He is NOT saying that WSJT-X 1.9.1 will not work with XP.
IMHO, anyone still on XP and linked to the internet is asking for
issues. Complaints about Windows 10 tend to be of the 'messes up
programs' issues, and when dug deeper, its because they're using a
program that has not been updated in 5 years or more; or equipment
drivers that have not been updated by the user.
With refurbished Win7 computers available on the market at places like
Newegg.com, and Tiger Direct starting at under $100, the continued use
of Windows XP is unjustified, when the refurbished computers can provide
faster CPUs, and additional USB ports.
My 2 pence ...

"With Window XP, which by the way is obsolete and out of support"
So does the following statement on the WSJT-X home page need to be
modified?:
*Windows*
* Latest full release, Version 1.9: wsjtx-1.9.1-win32.exe.
<https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-1.9.1-win32.exe>
(runs on Win XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win10, both 32- and 64-bit).
