Steam dă ultima lovitură utilizatorilor de Windows XP și Vista

[Angrry.exe™]

Windows Xp continues to be used by a fairly large number of PC users, but Valve has announced that it will disable Steam compatibility with the old operating system.

Windows Xp has been a surprisingly good operating system. Although it introduced revolutionary functionality and interface changes compared to Windows 98 or Windows 95, the SO behaved exemplarily on a huge variety of hardware configurations. This happens to be 16 years from that time, and given the rapidity of technology, it is surprising that Steam supported the old operating system by this hour.

Microsoft ceased support for Windows in April 2014, four years ago. About two years later, it is time for Google to stop launching Google Chrome updates for the old SO. Valve's information is the latest bad news for PC users who stubbornly refused to give up XP. In other news, given that Steam is an online gaming store, it's a bit odd to have a Windows XP gaming system.

In any case, Steam will no longer work on Windows XP and Windows Vista from January 1, 2019, for about half a year. The announcement was made on the company's support page. "As of January 1, 2019, Steam will no longer officially support the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. This means that after that time, the Steam client will no longer run on those versions of Windows. To continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will have to upgrade to a more recent version of Windows. "

On the other hand, Windows 10 is also a very good operating system, but if you opted to stay with Windows XP, you probably had your reasons and it is sad enough to force Valve to migrate to something more recent .
