Re: Win 8 v. Win 7

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years after it was out of date with no ill effects.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.
