Malwarebytes just announced they will still be providing virus and
spyware protection for the XP systems for the foreseeable future.

My wife's company is seriously thinking about rolling the W/7 POS
system back to the XP system because the new one sucks so bad.

The irony, "lack of support" is the biggest concern ... on the new
system.



Hmmmm... There's absolutely nothing wrong with Win7. Out of the box
it is superior to XP IMO and experience with both. Win8 I can
understand although it's just a matter of getting used to.

Starting to think you are just so heavily invested in XP that you can't
give it up. XP is fine but Win7 is better.

I've only seen Win 8 running on computers at the Dell mall kiosks and at
Best Buy, and I wasn't interested enough to stop for a look-see. Win 7
seems to work fine on the business computers I have encountered.

Gregg doesn't specify what the Win 7 problems are with the setup with
which he is familiar. Perhaps it is integrating an odd bit of peripheral
hardware.
