Before banishing XP to the "junkpile," I would suggest a bit of evaluation. How dependent were you on security patches and updates from Microsoft in the past? I ran XP for the last 3 years or so WITHOUT any security patches or updates. I finally have been pressured to upgrade because of lack of OTHER resources. Many websites are now using HTML code that is simply not supported by IE8. A work around for me was Firefox for the interim. Other problems with compatibility begin to arise with newer programs coming onto the market - such as tax preparation software, Word documents. etc. Sooner or later, the backward compatibility will fade away - just a little at a time.
