LOL! I have one older LT with “XP”. The other two newer ones came with “7”. I still kind of like the “XP”. Won’t do “8”.

I will not give up my XP.

Microsoft dropped support for XP ?

Because it works without them.

Bring back W98 and I’ll be happy.

Heck yeah! I feel more comfortable continuing to use XP with 13 years worth of "security updates" (so they say) under its belt than some new crapola that is just starting out on a decades-long journey of *all new* "security updates" (or so they will claim). Why go back to Square 1? *And* they keep messing up the UI with each new iteration of their OS. Why?????

Hardware ages and can be replaced easily before or when it fails. 'Code' will just keep on running forever on working hardware. It does not age. That claim is just a stupid marketing ploy.

I’m running Se7en Ultimata on the ‘replacement box’ since the XP machine finally gave upo the ghost after many years of faithful service.
I will NEVER go to W8.

7 has a better rep than 8
