What a defensive response to a suggestion that some users might be
dissatisfied with an unnecessarily repetitive message.

I think a response that it could be programmed a different way giving
users the option to switch it off would be more appropriate.

30% are still using XP whatever Microsoft has decided. And indeed,
dropping support is not the issue...poor implementation of the message
is the small and simple matter that is being raised.

Isn't it somewhat emotional to suggest that users should develop their
own version of DC? Surely the developers are most interested in what
users say, in general?

I hope the developers who put in much hard work do not feel they are
being treated like dirt. Sorry you have an issue with this.

Title:
  Use tabs instead of dialogs for End of XP support message and other
  announcements

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The  imposing message at startup that support is stopping for
  Microsoft and DC++ is an issue:

  1) it cannot be switched off (as far as I can see) so is an unwelcome
  imposition after the first time

  2) is incorrect...I'm using windows 2003 server and support is not
  ending just yet
