Want iCloud With Windows? Ditch the XP 393

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 09, 2011 @11:06AM from the what-about-linux dept.

halfEvilTech writes "Microsoft isn't the only company denying equal online footing to Windows XP users. Apple will not give PC users access to iCloud – its great digital locker in the sky – if their machines are running Microsoft's aging but still popular Windows XP. Tucked at the bottom of the iCloud announcement, Apple says you'll need a PC running Windows Vista or Windows 7 to jump into Steve Jobs' version of the interwebs."

Someone explain to me why I would want to use iCloud? Or anything from Apple for that matter?
I'm not a Windows fanboy. I just hate Apple more.
If Wine worked perfectly, I'd switch to Linux in a second.

Is this "Windows 7 or above"? Because I'm 91 versions ahead.

Let me rephrase that for you:
"No WinXP. Less space than an Amazon Cloud Drive. Lame."
Is that about right?
