The only reason that XP, an excellent and stable operating system, is dead
is that Microsoft decided to make it so by no longer maintaining and
supporting it. I put the blame on why we had to migrate squarely and
entirely on Microsoft.
If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!!

At Dark,
No idea what you mean by Windows 7 being buggy, it is far more stable
than XP ever was.
I liked Windows XP back in the day, but by the time 7 came out, it was
showing its age.
And no, even using older developer kits, software developers are under
no obligation to support computers using dead (and that is what
Windows XP is, dead) operating systems. Again, if you want to use it,
I do not begrudge you that, but just keep this fact in mind.
Also, curiosity compels me to ask, but what are you working on a doctorate
in?

Hi John.
I've heard of liber office and I suspect supernova would indeed be fine
with
it, but since this is the doctoral thesis I've been working on for the
past
eight years, I'd rather not risk changing at this point, since anything
goes
wrong I'm in trouble.
Hopefully it'll all be done by september, november at the latest, but
since
I also have a new house to sort out and what I'm doing with the rest of my
life it's not quite on the pripority list, another reason I'm sorry games
don't work with xp, though I am about to install manamn on my wif'es win 7
machine and try the game out at least.
All the best,
Dark.

You don't actually need ms office - google "libre office", and give that
a
try.

Nope, everything has been tried. Folder lists do not display probperly,
downloads are partially completed, and lets not talk about that bloated
messmicrosoft outlook, frankly it is a pile of shite.
Since there are compatibility issues I will probably get a win 10 machine
laqter this year (if I've got to have a crappy os it might as well be the
latest crappy os), though since I need ms office for my phd thesis I
can't
do that now, plus there's moving house and various other things to
consider.
Still, I'd much! rather have xpp and really i don't like the fact that
the
only reason not! to use xp is because microsoft are greedy bastards who
prefer to break than make something better, killing about 20 years of
software compatibility in the process.
All the best,
DArk.
