Mme Reclus has 8.1 on her new machine.

My old computer has Win XP, which will no longer be supported by Microsoft, and my system cannot be upgraded. Since all I do online is email and web surfing, I am going to transfer my business to my wife's machine, remove everything on my machine of potential value to thieves, back up all my files, and upgrade my antivirus. My machine works great (except for a few peculiar quirks I have developed work-arounds for)and I refuse to replace it until I absolutely have to. When and if it finally gets corrupted, I'll get an Apple laptop.

If I have to go through the pointless aggravation of learning a new operating system, at least I'll have the satisfaction of sticking it to Mr Gates' Greed Machine.
