Ha! I never noticed the red "X", after looking at the banner the first time I've never looked at it again since but thanks for the tip!

Well, I have thought about Win 7 but I will probably wait until Win 9. After all, XP is only 10 years old, and it still works perfectly, specially with all my old games.

And I hear migrating from XP to 7 is sheer work.
LOL, I hear you, felt the same way for awhile. But I've upgraded two machines from XP with no issues at all and very little work, a 3rd from Vista and my laptop from Vista also. If you have the newer hardware it really blows XP out of the water. My gaming rig- EVGA 790i FTW, Core2Quad Q9550 @3.83, EVGA GTX295 191.07s, 2x150gb WD Raptors, 2x200gb SATA, 8gb G.Skill DDR3 1600, OCZ 700W PS, HP DVD-RW, Onboard sound, 32" Sony Bravia XBR, Win7 Pro 64bit, Tai Chi watercooled case really benefits from the extra ram and the multicore CPU with a 64bit OS really can't compare to what XP had to offer. All IMHO of course but I don't regret switching and haven't run into any issues with any of my games so far. For older games I've run all the Total War series, UFO:ET, and IL-2 is still played 3x/week with my squad and they all perform better than I remember with XP. But I'm a tinkerer when it comes to computers and like a challenge every now and then.

Anyway, so as not to be too far off topic of this thread, how about a new video Neal?!?
