Re: Win 8 v. Win 7




I agree there is a very, very good chance you won't have any problems,
that is absolutely irrefutable. countless blind people cross busy
thoroughfares every day without incident.


on the other hand, the other night I was chatting with a web developer
who casually referred to XP as "the greatest botnet in history waiting
to happen." you pays your money!

Dear Raphael I should say nonsense was a matter of opinion. I ran Windows 2000 for years after it was out of date with no ill effects. I was eventually forced to upgrade because of limitations running new software. Otherwise I might still be using it. Personally I am firmly of the opinion that good habits and reasonable third party security apps (virus and firewall) should be perfectly adequate. I am running XP now and have no intention of upgrading unless forced to again. Paul On 07/03/2014 13:45, Raphael wrote:

That said, how serious the threat is depends largely on your computing habits. If you are very careful when surfing and use a good anti-virus solution and a possibly a firewall, you could continue using XP with reasonable tranquillity. One possible solution would be to use a "safe-surfing application" as the one in COMODO Internet Security (even free edition).
