I need a new computer. I'm up to 2G of RAM, but that's not enough for
Win7 and all the windows I have open on a daily basis. I was running
97% full memory this evening when opening extra tabs in FF for all the
goodies in today's Gizmag email.

Which is why Im running (and will continue to run) XP Pro.

If MS would keep updating it, I'd much prefer to stick with XP, which
I still view as MicroSloth's peak in the Windows world. sigh But
now that they aren't updating, virii are a much larger problem.

If you only stick with MS antivirus programs..Id agree. But a full
40+% of all computers on the planet are currently running XP and every
antivirus writer still provides AND WILL keep providing antivirus
protection for XP.

I run (3) antivirus/malware programs on my puter..and I get regular
updates, at least 3 times a week.

MS trys to make it sound like our asses are out hanging in the
breeze..

That was MS position when they were supporting XP, especially if
you did not use their anti-virus program.
