So it looks like we can all get at least another 3 years out of our XP's :)

The 3 and a half times a year, I turn my windows 98 (SE I think) computer on it shows a windows update popup. That's all I care about really as far as "support" goes and maybe some driver updates every now and then, but I'm better off getting those of the manufacturers website anyway.

Good idea, but you forget -- even car dealerships won't let you trade in a car that doesn't run (or is not profitable). You'd have to call one of those "Get cash for your old car!" guys.

In the same frame of mind as a car dealership.
Vista, will probably lose half its value after your first boot, like a car after it drove off the lot.
I wonder what warranty will come with it :confused:
