The end of the line...

Only if you have an old computer. Yes, Microsoft is finally retiring support for Windows xp, unless you work for certain governments who have ponied up for support.

Despite its failings, at least I don't have to worry about this any more. I made all of my xp problems disappear by downloading this version of Linux free. My hardware was just old enough (and underpowered) that it would not support Windows 8.

Be warned: it is a change. I opted for this because I wanted something easy that would support my attached goodies.

Still tinkering...enjoy your day!

I've been using Linux for awhile on my home computer, because Windows7 became massively corrupted and I didn't want to split for Windows 8. I like it. Fast.

Now, if only my employer, mega-hospital/insurance company would get on board and update to something BESIDES XP. That will truly be a miracle.
