+D.B. it's cheaper and especially easier for them to pay microsoft to provide them with updates than renew their entire framework and adapt to a new operating system
+Dušan Pešić I do understand this (as this is a hurdle I am faced with, when dealing with deploying software on client systems). However, it does not make it any less amusing to me! Especially with the advent of powerful, cheap and truly "micro" computers. By the way, Microsoft no longer offers any support for the XP opperating system, it is that old!
sure, it is amusing to see ancient software still in use windows xp can still make use of more modern and powerful hardware, it just doesn't do anything with newer instruction sets so some benefit is lost there but nothing problematic microsoft doesn't offer support commercially, but they do when a company or institute such as MIT pays them for it
@Dušan Pešić @Alex Fedorov wow guys, why so serious, it was merely an observation that tickled my humor. That XP machine probably isn't even being used in any meaningful way. In my world, where I work on and develop a web application, we have simply dropped support for IE8 as of 6 months ago. It was too constrictive with what we wanted to achieve and show graphically, inside a browser enviroment. We where spending time detecting and accomodating various nuances associated with old browsers and varying levels of windows updates. This ment that our latest release will now only partially support IE8 and hence XP (where 3rd party software is not allowed, or even updates). As a result we have been able to decrease development time, and have a more powerfull tool set i.e. the browser at our disposal. So with that in mind, I respectively reserve my right to be humored, and continued to be humored by such an old OS in a cutting edge enviroment.
+Alex Fedorov I understand what you mean(my dad has an old microscope that only run on Windows ME) but it would make a lot of sense for them to upgrade if they plan on rolling out their software to other company's, it would have to run well on newer versions of windows if it was to go and be used by other facility's
1:36 wtih current technologies You would think that MIT would be capable of not making simple spelling mistakes. I guess the video was rushed or someone is dyslexic.
+Anthony Bell they may have made a simple spelling mistake. But i don't think it should be a worry for them. While some people are busy looking if the characters are in order. They are making groundbreaking breakthrought in science.
Lucas Lemos Yeah, I never said that it was a big deal. Just that it's strange that the person that made this video for MIT, didn't see the mistake. Either someone is dyslexic or the video was rushed.
if I had your chances, who came up to the nano-detector scanner that is capable of operating over a large area of the studied material. How I was lucky that I was born in Russia, but not in the United States. we're living in barns, and no life there is not expected ...
Interesting information. Thanks.
Now that is cool..
When will it be available in the market and how much ?
no sound is a bug, right?
2:19 Windows XP! Cutting edge technology on a 14 year old OS.
"Made in..." WAIT, WHAT... "Japan" Oh, okay.
If acid is introduced, how is the surface imaged?
+Dan Frederiksen from the top?
+Dušan Pešić funny :)
I was just thinking that a liquid would be a rather volatile thing to feel up with an atomic force probe at the atomic scale.
Cutting egde microscopy, run by archaic XP machines, how ironic.

Merry Christmas
really neat stuff
you made synths
Amazing!
Man... they are still using Windows XP!

Just don't create Synthetic human beings and we will be alright :)
