Dear Skyline Users,
This is just a quick note to warn you that sometime in 2014, Skyline (following the lead of Microsoft http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help) will end its support for Windows XP.

If you are dead set on sticking with an operating system that was first released over 12 years ago, which hasn't seen a major service pack in over 5 years, and which soon won't even be supported by Microsoft, you may also not care that Skyline will continue forward sometime in 2014 without you.

You will still be able to use the last Skyline release to support Windows XP for the next 12 years (without support), but you won't be able to upgrade to new releases and expect them to work on Windows XP.

I will be very clear about when this actually happens, and it won't happen before our next public release, but probably the first public release after Microsoft itself discontinues support, and earlier for the Skyline-daily development release.

Thought I would give people on Windows XP some lead time while 2014 budgets may not yet be fixed in stone, and holiday gift lists have not all been filled. Time to think about upgrading.
