X5 beta

[Doug Park]

We still support XP for X5.

We don't recommend it however. Windows 7 is faster and less buggy than XP with respect to Chief. Plus you have 64 bit which is not available under XP.

X6 is still an open question. Currently it looks like the trends in number of people using XP are declining at a rate that suggests that it is likely that we will drop support for XP for X6.

I would urge people that are on XP to look at moving to Windows 7 or 8 within about a year.

It's better to do the move on your timeline rather than being forced to do it due to circumstances outside of your control.
