As a retiree, why should I be
forced to "upgrade" from XP to Win7, especially if it means replacing
some/all of my machines (that now work just fine) with brand news ones at
considerable expense and time, plus the hassle of moving files over, buying
upgrades to existing applications (if they are even available), replacing
hardware that may not have new drivers, etc?
Who is forcing you to upgrade?
The only reason to upgrade either Mac or Windows is if an application
you need to run, or some hardware you need to use is not supported on
the old operating system. Most of my upgrades, on both Mac and
Windows, have been when I bought new machines that came pre-loaded
with the latest OS. My wife's PC went from Windows 95 (!) to XP when
we replaced the machine. My iBook -> MacBook replacement took me from
Panther (10.4) to Leopard (10.5).
