I guess I can get Win 7 without upgrading.... honestly, I don't know what Vista or Win 7 can do for me that XP doesn't already do, at half the system resouces...

The only thing that Vista can do frustrate is the user. Getting used to Vista takes a bit. Honestly, 64 bit in both XP and Vista are about it as far as I can tell that allows full use of 8 gig of RAM. Eye candy for Vista. Some new goodies but nothing I really use. I do use the Windows Live Mail. I would suspect over time XP would not support some new things. For example, Office 2003 needs updates now to support anything sent to me from someone using Office 2007, even so, it can still look odd using the 2003 compatability update for office. Do not quote me but I think XP does not support Windows Live Mail which is basically MS Outlook that is to take a back seat to the Windows Live Mail. Things of that nature that bascially force the user to upgrade eventually. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't
