For what it's worth, I was a staunch supporter of XP, I had it since Beta 2 about early 2000, and I have sung it's praises for 15 years as the BEST OS Microsoft have ever made. But earlier this year I had YET ANOTHER 1TB drive failure, and decided enough was enough, I was sick of the 'Your operating system is no longer supported and your PC is at risk' bol**ks every time I turned on....... I had played with the exceptionally SHT Windows 8 on virtualbox, and decided if I wanted an OS that looked like a phone I would get a phone..... So I also tried Windows 7........ It is like XP but newer, only small quirks that need fixing, but generally I wish I ditched XP in preference to 7 much sooner. ;D
