We put Zorin8 on one of the old XP machines that the kids use...so far it’s pretty nice, so much so that I’m thinking of dual booting it on my Windows7 PC. I wonder how many folks are going to explore an alternate OS because of this?

If it wasn’t for the end of XP support, I’d have never given Linux much thought.

Really, except for a surfing/email/streaming to TV computer there is no need for security as a computer can be completely stand alone to run apps designed for XP and older M$ o/s's with the hardware and software of the day.

So, games, text, music/audio, test equipment (frequency analyzers, O-Scope apps, etc), still pics, programming and much video can be processed offline.
