Vincent XP (Starry, Starry Night)
« on: April 08, 2014, 07:25:57 PM »
(I did not write this - just passing it along. :))

A long long time ago,
I can still remember how that NT kernel made me smile.
And I knew that if I had my chance,
I'd write a helluva lot cool VB 6 apps.
And maybe my manager would be happy for a while.

But April made me shiver,
With each Win 8 PC I'd deliver.
Bad news in the staffroom steps.
And I couldn't take one more step.

I can't remember if I cried,
When I read about some XP user heaved a sigh.
But something touched me deep inside.
The day Windows XP died.

So bye bye Windows XP has died.
Rode my Segway to the to the levy,
But the levy was dry.
And good ol' sysadmins were drinking coffee and Sprite,
Singing "This is the day Windows XP has died,
This is the day Windows XP has died."

I'm confused...

Your title seems to reference Mclean's song "Vincent"  but the poem is a spoof on his song "American Pie"  :headscratch:

I understand two major firms one being in the UK and one other European nation have paid to extend XP.
