Also note that should you decide to upgrade Windows, or to e new machine, there is a possibility that the other hardware, like printers and scanners, that you currently have may not work with the new OS.

Care to take a guess at how I know?

Tim, you're on Long Island? Come on over and we can mix and match and trade hardware and software and driver updates

In that case, should you get a machine with Windows 7, you can download "XP Mode" from Microsoft which basically runs XP in a virtual machine, allowing you to install and run old software and still use old hardware. I use it so I can still run Instant Photo Scanner for scanning cards, as well as a couple of older games.
