Google Drive desktop app ending support for Windows XP, Vista and Server 2003
From gHacks.net
Two things are particularly interesting about the announcement.
"Today, we’re announcing that on January 1, 2017 we will discontinue support for the Google Drive desktop app on Windows XP, Vista and Server 2003 since these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft. The Google Drive desktop app (officially: "Google Drive for Mac/PC") will continue to function on these platforms, but will not be actively tested and maintained. If you are still on one of these unsupported platforms, we encourage you to move to a newer version of Windows to continue using Google Drive desktop app."

Two things are particularly interesting about the announcement.
- First, that the programs will continue to work. This means that Windows users on XP, Vista or Server 2003 will be able to continue using the software for the foreseeable future.
- The second interesting observation is that Google mentions that these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft. While that is indeed the case for Windows XP and Server 2003, it is not for Windows Vista.
