People, let´s require to developer´s to bring back the support for Windows XP.
The XP is a reliable system for HTPC, works very well with XBMC and it is lightweight.
In our living room we don´t need a powerful PC, just one that works with KODI, and it is way better than android minipcs. (compatibility)
Nvidia still supports Windows XP.
The new Vulkan will support Windows XP
With Windows XP Embedded, we can have support until 2019.
So, why stop the support?
Please, bring back the support to WXP!

I have a PDP-11 in the garage - can we support that as well? ASCII mode H.264 rendering, perhaps? I'm sure FernetMenta could do it, it can't be hard.
Failing that... yes, use OpenELEC and enjoy the upgrade.

LOL - Any OS is more lightweight that XP... OK, maybe not Vista..
But there is absolutely no logical reason except for "I don't want to change" to maintain XP support.
For that matter, anyone running XP is a fool given the security risks. Win 7, 8, and 10 all run successively 'lighter' and you can still do key things like have it auto login using a default account to make it run "appliance style"

XP was a crappy OS for media playback as it was developed before the explosion in digital media.
