One of the reasons I left this post up is to make it clear that there is a bug with posting (so the bug can be fixed more easily). Now I see the same thing happening with other posts, e.g. the one here

http://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/294368?p_p_auth=5sFXRgOc

by Neven Golenic, is affected by the same bug. (It appears to repeat the text of the post it is replying to.)

(The other reason was that since I only had access to an iPad at the moment, I couldn't fix it, and after the post has been up for a while I needed to add an explanation of why this happened.)

Sorry. If you can't edit the duplicate post, let us know which post(s) you want deleted.

This seems shortsighted since estimates are that at least 25% of all desktops and laptops running some version of Windows are running Windows XP. Anecdotal evidence suggests that those on XP do not plan to move to 7 or 8 until the need arises to replace the current machine.

That might suggest that XP won't work.

PS: System requirements for V9 : http://support.wolfram.com/kb/12432 say that XP works on MMA9.
