Hi :)
There is nothing actually stopping you from continuing to use Xp.
Something like 30% of desktops are still on Xp.

If you want to give a Gnu&Linux a go then it's best to download (torrent if
poss) a few different v

Agreed, Jay.
I learned about the XP support expiration on the evening news a few
months ago. Until then, it never occurred to me that M$ would stop
supporting its OS. That thought wasn't on my radar screen, which

Brian,
Thank you for the clarification. I do want to be fair, even in my anger.
My apologies to M$ concerning notice of the expiration of XP.
That said, as a typical Windows user, it never occurred to me to go to a

It looked to me like Brian had a good handle, and that I had missed
something. I think if I followed what he was saying, the key is to put

StarOffice became OpenOffice. LibreOffice split off from OpenOffice
