I agree with the first part but not the second. Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP. You can't even get security updates anymore and I'm not even talking about new security updates but even the old stuff is no longer available. If Microsoft no longer supports their own platform than you can't expect new developers to also support it. That said, there should be a legacy version of Calibre available for users of XP that they can use that might not have all the latest features (new readers or reader firmware might not be supported for example). That said, it really is time to move on from Windows XP people.
