“I’ll never upgrade unless/until they finally quit fixing the bugs and holes in XP to force me to.”

Feel the same way; reverse is true for me, too...I have legacy software that might or might not work with a new upgrade and don’t want to start all over for a while yet...I will when I have to.

I have several old DOS programs and early Windows programs that work in XP. They don't have 'later' editions, as the authors quit updating them years ago. Some have no viable substitutes. Thus, I am staying with XP for the time being.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a new desktop PC. If I go that route, I would this have this old XP available.

I haven't really seen enough Win7 features that are must-haves.
