Same here. After XP went out of support, I simply refurbed a used Dell Opti 780 desktop with tons of RAM and disk space then loaded up Linux Mint 17. It rocks. Haven't missed Winders at all. I do use Virtual Box to run an XP VM for some of those games I just can't live without.

I'm being forced to upgrade my company laptop to Win10 but I'll go kicking and screaming before I relent. I wish they'd simply let us use Linux with a Virtual Box VM for Windows.

” I wish they’d simply let us use Linux with a Virtual Box VM for Windows.”

Everyone should be doing that. If your Windows gets Pwn3d, you just toss the VM and put the backup in its place. You just have to make a copy of the VM every so often as a backup.

Yeah, but don’t say you don’t miss the malware! Come on, you miss the thrill of having thirty years of personal documents turned to bit rubble.
