Yup. Me too. That's why I'm sticking with WinXP (disconnected from the internet) for utility and application use with Linux Mint15 running in a VM for internet access and email.

I like my current hardware. Runs great.

Ditto. All of my important home office stuff is on an XP machine, now off the internet. I just got a refurbed PC on which I have Mint 16 (alongside Win 7 Pro which isn't being used). A KVM switch lets me go back and forth as needed.

Neato.

"A KVM switch lets me go back and forth as needed. "

I have an old 8x Compaq rack mount KVM (that somehow handles 1920x1080 analog) that cascades through a 4x and another 4x to a buncha old 486's.
