I like Mint and Elementary OS. I prefer both to Windows. The latter being the one I recommend to Mac users as the gui is quite similar.

Lots of decent Linux distro's that will work on older pc's.
If you don't need Hornresp, WinISD, autocad, sketchup, etc. that is. |

Were you supposed to Update XP??? joking aside, if you kit works and you have a decent AV program (Norton IS for instance, no freeware poverty crap) you are prob good for a few years on XP. I now have to run W8 (in virtual on my W7 box I hasten to add) as HV 2012 does talk well to W7, MS have failed horribly in the tablet market, their phones are Nokia (heaviest insult I can think for a phone, Nokia) they need to look after their core market and IMHO, Visat never happened so bin support for that and extend XP for another few years, SP4 is WELL overdue, Nt 4.0 (down my last NT box 3 years ago with 5 years up-time on it!!!) NT made SP 6 so IMO should Xp! |

Hmm, I had a Windows automatic update last last - thought it was the last XP update to sort out any problems left outstanding with the old girl, but may be mistaken. I shall check back through the logs and report back.

For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants.

..and given that the Dutch government have a similar 'multi million Euro deal' with Microsoft, I would have thought upwards of £8 million would have bought a fair slice of support that everyone in these two countries could share. The cost to individuals and businesses in the two countries of dealing with problems with old XP systems, if or when they happen, would justify it as a worthwhile use of Government money. (but what's the betting this hasn't been factored in to the payments as part of the deal - by our Government, at least)
