Also, Microsoft is giving a big middle finger to anyone still running XP. My desktop runs exceptional on XP. If I bought I newer box I would definitely use the newest Windows, but this computer would not perform well with the newest Windows.
MS is forcing users of XP to look for alternatives to IE. Seems to be a very shortsighted way to do business.
This is the main reason I discovered Linux, a friend of mine had lot of problems with XP so I looked into Ubuntu for him, it runs great on his machine.
My computer is only a year old and I took windows 7 off, I use Puppy Linux and Ubuntu, Puppy is small and I have had great success putting it on a windows 98 machine. I rarely run Ubuntu now. Download Puppy to a disk and run it as a live disk to try it out.
