it's that XP is obsolete and over


Only if your needs change significantly.
The thing I notice having Flash turned off and running an old browser
is I see far fewer ads. I just see "advertisement" and a blank space.
99,9% of the content I am looking for still comes through just fine.
It seems a lot of programmers just want to use every bell and whistle
in the new OS without actually making the content any better. Most of
the stuff I am looking for could be presented in flat text with a few
pictures and *maybe* an AVI file.

If younare using it as an industrial controller or just reading
e-mail, XP is fine (Heck, windows98 will do the job) but if you want
to do anything on the net, or run any new software, it's more grief
than it's worth - as much as I liked XP and stuck with it WAY too
long.
