That's fine and all. I have some older version software I like to
hang onto as well, but then I generally don't have conflicts running
them on XP, either. If I did, either XP or the software has to go.
Generally it's easier for the latter to go. But then why aren't you
on at least Win 7? I mean XP is only THREE OS versions behind
w/Micro$not dropping support for it next year.

I still use XP on several systems and will continue to do so, but from
here on out, I only use XP on POS systems I sell/set up as they're
operated as 'closed' systems only, with internet access extremely
limited/locked down, so there is no need to keep them in a perpetual
'OS upgrade loop'.


I use XP or Linux and dont have a machine running on anything else in
the house, nor is it on my agenda.
