You're only delaying the inevitable going to Windows 7 from XP.

Support lifecycle

I'm running one XP box at work. It runs just as well as it did 10
years ago so I have no burning need to upgrade it. The
applications I build on it run on 7 and 10. They probably run on
Vista and 8 too but we don't have any of those pigs around to
test.


I have one XP box here. The only box that still runs Windows native.
It's a dual cpu p3. When it finally dies, and, it will; the replacement
machine will be native linux with various flavors of Windows in VM for
tech support/program testing purposes. Windows has turned into a
spyware pile of **** that only seems to be getting worse. I'm not going
to keep playing that game for a daily OS.
