ArcGIS 10.2.1 will be the last release that supports Windows XP for ArcGIS for Desktop.
Does this mean that a Windows XP machine that has ArcGIS 10.2.1 can never be upgraded to 10.2.2? The computer would need to be re-imaged to something like Windows 7 where you could just install 10.2.2 without having to install a previous version (Or would you need to install earlier software as 10.2.2 is just a service pack installed over top other desktop software?)
Any information in regards to this topic is appreciated as my organization decides on its GIS upgrade path in coordination with our other business needs.
