It would have been around that time frame. you were concerned about moving files from the old to the new. Windows XP was a really good OS and I was sorry to see them let it go. I wonder if some third party provider could provide updates to old o/s's just to update online protocols and security. I would assume Microsoft would squash such an attempt. |
