To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
To switch one computer to Windows 7 would cost me over $10,000.00 over the next two years. Win 7 will not run the version of proprietary software I use in my work, and the new version requires quarterly fees on top of the upgrade costs. The version I am running was paid for when I paid for it. No quarterly ransom.

Even if Microsoft won’t issue anti-malware, won’t the major anti-virus applications still keep up?

Not a fan of Microsoft, but I am running Windows 7 in VirtualBox under Ubuntu. Win7 does have an emulation mode that works back as far as ME (I believe). Doesn't work for everything but if you haven't actually tried running your stuff in XP emulation mode (which should be solid as houses) I wouldn't assume that it won't work.
