“I bet many XP computers these days are kept offline for one reason or another. “
I’m upgrading our Win XP computer to Win 7. We will be one of those keeping Win XP. My intent is to have a dual operating system. One with XP for older software, and just in case we do not like 7.
I remember having games I loved back when I had XP, most still worked on Win98 thank goodness
If your Windows 7 is ultimate you can make XP virtual machines, much smoother than dual booting. When I went to 7 I did the dual boot thing, and never went back. 7’s a good OS.
