Kurt,

KW>I have a single-core laptop running Lubuntu that I use as my day-to-day lapt
KW>Just for kicks, I put my old XP drive in and fired it up. Despite all of the
KW>doom and gloom surrounding XP, if you google that registry hack to make XP
KW>think it's XP embedded, patches are available (and I downloaded a ton of
KW>patches, an upgrade to my virus program, and updates to Firefox and
KW>Thunderbird...)

  Interesting. Ironically, I saw a message from Sophos this morning that
"Windows 7 has reached the midpoint in its support", and Micr0$0f+ is
getting set to end support for it, like for all previous OS's, and get
folks to upgrade to Windbl0w$ 10.

  As I've noted before, I can't see throwing money down a rathole, just
to satisfy Micr0$0f+'s bottom line. If it ain't broke, don't fix
it...never mind that I can't afford to do the upgrade...and I can't see
sacrificing a bunch of perfectly good working hardware and software.

Daryl
