Support for XP ends when?

I have been looking for some info on when ZCM support for Windows XP will end? Given the timeframe for 11.3's release, will XP be dropped when 11.3 is released? I seem to remember Windows 2000 being dropped right away when it went out of MS support.
I am trying to get the remaining computers upgraded to Win7 but I am running into to opposition and need as much ammo as I can gather to push the issue - Doctors can be very stubborn.

The reason for dropping Windows 2000 support did not have anything
directly to do with Microsoft Dropping Support. It was the fact ZCM was
moving to a newer, more stable, and more robust version of .NET.
Microsoft never released the newer version of .NET for Windows 2000 and
hence Windows 2000 support for ZCM was no longer possible.
ZCM 11.3 will again be moving to a new version of .NET, but this version
of .NET is available and supported by Windows XP.
Novell has never removed support for an OS within a Service Pack Level
in the past, though some have been ADDED in the past. Traditionally,
support is removed during Service Pack Upgrades and even then it is
uncommon.
I would not expect Windows XP Support to be removed prior to ZCM 11.4,
which would be a long way off. Even then, I would be quite surprised if
XP support was lost since work on that version is already underway which
means that the technology it uses would be available to XP.
In short, I have not heard of any discussions for the removal of XP
support, the removal of support for an OS any time soon would be a
departure from past ZCM support history, and even the major release
AFTER the soon to be released major update would most likely support XP
as well.

  • I (A blind user) need voiceover support for mozilla thunderbird. when will it be done?

    Gentlemen,
    I recently lost what was left of my eyesight and can no longer function in large print mode. I have attempted to get mac's VoiceOver to work with your thunderbird app, but to no avail. it will not read my active mail pane. I do not have the time or patience to want to dump a perfectly good product otherwise and migrate my mail to apples mail app (which has less features). I need to know WHEN VoiceOver support will be operational. I can't function without my mail.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first started using VoiceOver. ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.1 Safari/533.17.8

    I am having to use safari to access even here. mozilla firefox and its mail application thunderbird are not en tirely compatible with OS X VoiceOVer.
    most of the menus get read, but the text windows I am interested in (in t-bird) remain unspoken. I'll his the feature request site.
    ****** public notice to apple and mozilla ********
    btw, mozilla needs to get off their collective butts and quit worrying about apples developer license. all they need to do is contact apple, and arrange for source access. enough of the pointing fingers people, I am a customer of both of you and I am waiting for help!

  • Java Proxy Generation not working - Support for Parallel Processing

    Hi Everyone,
    As per SAP Note 1230721 - Java Proxy Generation - Support for Parallel Processing, when we generate a java proxy from an interface we are supposed to get 2 archives (one for serial processing and another suffixed with "PARALLEL" for parallel processing of jaav proxies in JPR).
    https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1230721
    We are on the correct patch level as per the Note, however when we generate java proxy from the IR for an outbound interface, it genrates only 1 zip archive (whose name we ourselves provide in the craete new archive section). This does not enable the parallel processsing of the messages in JPR.
    Could you please help me in this issue, and guide as to how archives can be generated for parallel processing.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rosie Sasidharan.

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for your reply, Prateek.
    I have already checked SAP Note 1142580 - "Java Proxy is not processing messages in parallel" where they ask to modify the ejb-jar.xml. However, on performing the change in ejb-jar.xml and while building the EAR, I get the following error:
    Error! The state of the source cache is INCONSISTENT for at least one of the request DCs. The build might produce incorrect results.
    Then, on going through the SAP Note 1142580 again, I realised that the SAP Note 1230721 also should be looked onto which will be needed for generating the Java proxy from Message Interfaces in IR for parallel processing.
    Kindly help me if any of you have worked on such a scenario.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Rosie Sasidharan.

  • Still no support for Leaf Aptus digital backs in 10.4.7

    This product just cracks me up. No reasonable video card upgrade path for us early Quad owners (a total ripoff) and no support for high end digital backs. This is turning into a really bad joke. Apple is totally clueless about supporting professional photographers other than wedding and sports shooter. Lame. This is clearly geared more to the prosumer market rather than real working pros with multiple cameras for different requirements. This whole experience has left a really bad taste in my mouth after supporting and using Apple computers since the Apple IIe.
    Joe if you're reading this is there any chance that Aperture will EVER support the Leaf backs? If not I'm going to stop wasting my valuable time on this product.

    lawrence I'm sure you'll be excited though that though there is no support for high end digital backs, or Fuji S3 - that there is however support for the C7070 and other compacts. Thank goodness, we can now work.

  • Windows 10 support for HP Envy 15-3040nr?

    Hi,
    I have an HP Envy 15-3040nr that is currently running on Windows 7 x64. I was wondering if this computer would be receiving future driver support for Windows 10 when it releases, and whether or not it supports the Technical Preview that is currently avilable to developers under Microsoft's prerelease program. I currently do not have UEFI enabled (which I know is available for my notebook).
    This questions arises from the fact that I have read on this forum that multiple owners of the Envy 15 were not able to get drivers working on Windows 8.1, for which HP hasn't formally released drivers for. Will HP make me use Windows 8 drivers on Windows 10?
    Thanks,

  • Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

    Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
    FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
    As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

    Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
    Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
    If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
    Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
    It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

  • When will Oracle end support for Version 7

    We have several servers running Oracle 7.3.4 and we are making upgrade plans.
    Could anyone tell us when support for version 7 will end.
    Thanks

    Java 7 has already been dead for quite a while. While you could still use it for Java apps on your system, Apple blocked its use in browsers long ago. You have to install version 8 if you need Java support for the web.

  • Support for Third Party Apps when they take your money and don't respond

    Does Blackberry App do anything about third party apps that take your money and then don't give you what you paid for or respond?  I paid $4.99 for Jeweled game from getempower, it downloaded and worked a bit, then it said I needed to Register.  When I clicked Register, nothing happened, it just said "checking registriation" forever.  I clicked on the Support Email provided and it returned an error saying "We get too much spam so you can't email us anymore, so please go to our website for support."  So I went to the website www.getempower.com, and got to the Support form and filled it out, and it said "you cannot submit form until you choose the app" but when I tried to choose the app it wouldn't let me.  I can't see anywhere else on the web page to contact them. So I paid for the game but it won't let me get to it.  I looked at the reviews and it looks like several other people have had this same problem.  I guess I thought buying something through App World would be trustworthy - App World, do you stand behind the vendors you allow to sell on your site?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Firstly, as a user-to-user community, no one here can answer your question with any level of authority whatsoever. This site is not a channel for any formal communications with RIM. All support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into RIM at no charge to the end user...and that is the required path for formal support for issues such as yours (including requests for refund, if you choose to go that route). So, your escalation path is not here, in these forums. 
    But, have you tried removing and resinstalling the app? And/or clearing the AppWorld cache?
    Good luck!

  • When will SUpport for Oracle 8i Stop??

    Hi All
    Can anyone tell me if there is a schedule available for the life time of Oracle products.
    Specifically I am interested to know when Oracle will stop supporting Oracle 8i RDBMS.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kim

    The certification matrix on Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com) and available from the OTN home page (under "Get Support") have links to the Oracle desupport notices.
    Error Correction Support (what most people refer to as support) for 8.1.7.4 on all platforms will end at the end of 2004. On some platforms, it ended at the end of 2003. Extended support extends that by a few years.

  • What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

    Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
    If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
