Steam to No Longer Support Windows XP SP1

If you're still running SP1... it might be time for an upgrade.

Starting August 31st, Steam will no longer be supporting Windows XP SP1. According to Valve, this change will affect less than one percent of Steam users.

Quite frankly, I’m surprised that those running XP SP1 are even able to get Steam to boot. And if you’re part of the one percent, it’s high time for an upgrade to at least SP2. It’s okay to turn on Windows Update from time to time… it won’t bite.

But that's the funny part, Steam isn't discontinuing support for XP. Just for SP1. That's two system packs old! Just update it, already.
