Sticky Keys' Transition to Windows 8

The Sticky Keys Transition to Windows 8 was a controversial event that happened from July 2015 - October 2015. The reason for this event was because Windows XP was getting to dangerous to use. How this became controversial was due to the fact that Microsoft Sam, Microsoft Mike, and Microsoft Mary were not yet available on Windows Vista and newer operating systems. Also, some of Sticky Keys' software was not compatible with anything newer than Windows XP.

Microsoft Sam's reaction
The transition caused Microsoft Sam, Mike and Mary to stay on Windows XP while everyone else got to upgrade to Windows 8.

November 2016 downgrade
On November 15, 2016, Sticky Keys downgraded back to Windows XP because it was more familiar and it had support for Microsoft Sam, Mike and Mary. However, by then, Microsoft Sam and others were finally on Windows Vista and newer. Microsoft Anna and Microsoft Lili were now on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 as well.

Microsoft Anna and Windows 8
During the transition to Windows 8 in 2015. Microsoft Anna was getting her own transition to Windows 7 because she was not available in Windows 8, 8.1 or even the new Windows 10. So due to no Windows 8 support, Microsoft Anna also stayed on Windows XP.

Computers used
The Sticky Keys work computers they were moving to were HP Stream 11 11-d010wm netbooks. A size downgrade from the familiar Dell Dimension 4600s they they used since 2006. However, during the Windows XP downgrade, the computers changed to Dell Optiplex 755 desktop computers. The Windows XP edition was upgraded to Professional on the Windows XP Dells.
