Mozilla may soon ditch Windows XP thanks to Project Shumway

Project Shumway is Mozilla's latest new feature that let you play flash games or videos on Dailymotion without the need of Flash Player, putting Adobe Flash to rest. Unfortunately, HTML5 like Shumway requires new hardware including a new graphics video card for desktop PCs and laptops which puts the final nail in the coffin for Windows XP.  Windows XP had a good long run, even after the April 14, 2014 end support and so did Adobe Flash, too.

But for Linux users, you could get a graphics video card but some articles say that the decoders will not be available for Linux, Ubuntu. Bye bye Linux.
