Re: Windows XP
I still have a laptop running XP and for the limited use I put it to (legacy apps, no internet browsing etc) it does the job just fine.
Obtaining drivers for legacy hardware or having to buy updated Win8/10 software so I can run exactly the same applications, seems rather pointless.
Sometimes all that's needed is a no frills o/s that just allows you to run your application with the minimum of fuss.
