Might be a retard question, but I don't follow much news regarding Windows.
We have a few copies of XP at work that we can't sell due to it now being "unsupported" (?) so I've grabbed one up.
I want to run it through bootcamp to play a few games, but are there any issues in doing so? Anything I should be aware of? Anything that won't work?

Being serious tho, is it not just the same old XP but simply wont receive further updates?
All my machines still run XP

I expected any issues would be with things like Steam stopping working due to updates not being made for XP!?

The updates thing is the main one. Steam will probably need something that doesn't support XP sooner rather than later.
If it's older games you are using through bootcamp and not downloading dodgy stuff, you'll be fine.

Well, it'll mostly be older games as that's all my laptop can handle, but all are purchased through Steam.
As long as there's no immediate issues I'll give it a go. Time will tell how long Steam keeps working then.
