Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop

[wraggster]

Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP in 2014. Fortunately for its users who want to keep browsing the web, Google is continuing to support Chrome until at least 2015 (http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2013/10/extending-chrome-support-for-xp-users.html). Firefox has no current plans to end support for XP (http://www.neowin.net/news/mozilla-to-support-firefox-on-windows-xp-after-microsoft-ends-support-for-the-os). Hopefully this will delay the dreaded XPopacalypse (http://windowsitpro.com/windows-xp/coming-windows-xp-apocalypse) — the idea that a major virus/worm/trojan will take down millions of systems that haven't been issued security patches. When these browsers finally do end XP support, does it mean webmasters will need to write seperate versions of CSS and JavaScript for older versions if the user base refuses to leave Windows XP (as happened with IE6)?"
