People love XP and hate the rest. I wish I still had XP. I know lawyers that are still using Windows 98. Lawyers do not like change. Especially change for stupid reasons. You will find lawyers all across the country using old but perfectly good stuff.

I miss MS-DOS, WordPerfect 5.1 and Lotus 123. Nothing ever crashed.

Windows XP behaves predictively. Windows 7 seems to do things on its’ own that I can't figure out why, and doesn't seem to remember my preferences on certain things. Windows 8, I'm dreading the day I need to make that upgrade. I still have Windows 98se on a machine that I use for word processing and report writing.

Using my XP right now. In the other room I have a Windows 98 that I use to interface to an old scanner that won’t upgrade to anything else. its a perfectly good scanner its just that there is no patch to update it for later versions and I’ve searched the web extensively for a solution —so I use the 98 and the scanner as an out of date but perfectly good marriage between the two.

Considering the sophistication of hackers,I would say that anyone using an unsupported OS is like a schoolgirl skipping through a prison yard.

“I know lawyers that are still using Windows 98. Lawyers do not like change.”

That explains why they keep such an archaic court system.
