If ease of use is your goal, consider Microsoft Bob Desktop
running on Windows for Workgroups 3.11

As long as you don't need internet access. 7 or 10 - forget
anything in between - and except for special apps forget XP -
and regardless, forget anything earlier.


What do you mean as long as you don't need internet access?


What he probably means is that AFAIK, none of the latest, updated
releases of the popular browsers that most people use will run
on XP anymore.


Firefox is still a popular browser. ESR build is still getting
updates on XP.

longer? IF I was going to be browsing, I for sure would not
be installing XP when Win 7 is the other choice.


Well, the thing for me is this...I have vlk edition of XP. I'm not
entirely sure I have what amounts to vlk edition of Windows 7. And,
that makes all the difference in the world for me.
