Tom...

  Yep. Just like they did with ending support for XP in both the OS, and
the XP mode of Windows 7.

TW>But on continues use of Win XP at soem point sooner, most likely, or
TW>later the XP Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, and firewalls Will not be updated
TW>and then we could have a problem.

  I saw a story where Microsoft was offering XP users $100 -- the catch
is that you have to apply it to a NEW computer with Windows 8, ranging
from $600 to $3000 or more.

  Thanks, but no thanks...I'm not interested.

  If worse came to worse, I guess I'd have to consider Linux...but I
hope that won't be necessary for a long time.

Daryl
