For all of you Win XP fans, and I am one of them, you should know that
Microsoft is dropping support soon. The implications are that it
will be increasingly difficult to run new hardware and software.
Additionally there will be no new fixes for security vulnerabilities.

Anyone looking for an inexpensive way to upgrade both hardware and
software at the same time should take a look at this deal:

For $200 it comes with a fairly fast processor and Win 7 professional.

I suspect it will sell out quickly at that price.

I've got the E8400 at 3.0GHz, and it's upright. But, that's not a bad deal. If I had kids at home I
might have considered it. I'll send the info to my daughters. They may be interested for their kids.

Thanks.
