Submission + - Next Photoshop Version Won't Work on Windows XP (paritynews.com) 1
hypnosec writes: Adobe has announced that the current version of Photoshop – CS6 (13.0) will be the last one to support Windows XP and that all future releases will support Windows 7 and upwards. The reason for this is that Windows XP lacks some modern graphics interfaces that Adobe needs for modern performance-sensitive software to provide 3D, Blur Gallery and Lighting Effect.

Tell you dumbass managers, that it can run in XP but slower.
And screw management, just make it by accident work in WinXP, even if 100% of the GUI is in openGL, but this could be a 'MS provides discounts if you ditch XP'.
Tho due to the super high price of Photoshop, I guess you could bundle Win8 with it.
