I have some programs that do not run on Win 7. Win 8 is not an option for anything.
I have a Linux Mint machine, set up to my liking.
The cash register computer in the store computers I maintain, will become a 'Point of Sale' iPad. The other computers will stay XP.
Oh, and I have the lifetime Malwarebytes installed in my own XP machine.
