Having seen the latest count of active XP on a list including Linux OS's I got upset enough to start pointing out only online users get counted. Here in Northern Ontario Canada where it's snow activities and cottagers and farms that pay the bills, sooo many small businesses still use XP exclusively. All inventory programs for small grocery stores,convenience and general shops don't / can't move to Win7. and why pay the extra expense when xp just works. Trouble is these systems never go online. And the airgap is great for safety. major suppliers to like Muffler Shops supply their own dongle for dedicated direct internet contact. excuse my rant, richard
