OK, I "own" this topic :-)  Meaning I started it.

My purpose was to discover any facts or "truths" regarding continued 
use of win-XP.  If the upgrades are to become NLA, then it will be 
harder to keep an older machine running.  I think we all know that 
windows needs to be re-installed on a clean HD every few years to 
keep it running.  If the files needed are gone then life expectancy 
is limited (unless you store away all the current upgrade files for 
future use).  Synopses is that the files will continue to be available.

Topic drift over to Linux is probably inevitable but that is not an 
option for the computer I was re-building for my wife.  She is not 
interested in learning Linux.  It took a leap of faith to try win-7 
on her new laptop.  Very fortunate that a lot of computer mfr's are 
offering win-7 as an option to win-8 with new computers -- says a lot 
about acceptance of win-8.

Re: appropriateness of some computer issues to this 
reflector.  Computers are now common place part of most ham shacks so 
some topics are germane (with limits).  I'm done on this thread.
