And I keep what can be updated, updated.
There are certain software/hardware that never made it to the next generation of Windows, even with "compatibility mode". There is also the lack of full screen DOS window with Post WinXP. And all hype aside, Windows XP is a good stable OS.
So, my netbook is updated, Windows Virtual Machine on my Win7 desktop have been kept updated.
Why is it when you say you're keeping Windows XP on specific computers, you get inundated with unhelpful suggestions about Linux or Macs?
1: I don't want LINUX. It's great you love LINUX, but I have certain programs and hardware that will not, and cannot run in LINUX, even using a simulated Windows Environment.
2: I wouldn't be going through all the effort of making sure I was getting the last Windows XP updates available if I wanted to run a different OS. I don't know why that is do difficult to see.
3: Also, I don't want a Mac. Again, you like Macs, fine by me! But It's not for me. (yes, I've used them, and no I don't want to again!)
