Re: [OM] (OM) Computers

Brian, If it's an older machine as I suspect I wouldn't waste the $$ on 
a new OS. Just reinstall XP. So what if it isn't "supported". Actually 
there is a huge installed base that isn't going away anytime soon. XP is 
a pretty solid OS.  For many, especially businesses, the cost of upgrade 
would be substantial and for little if any return. For that reason I 
think that there will be a market for anti virus companies to continue 
security fixes.

However for now spend some money on a new, bigger harddrive now. Save 
the rest of your money up for a new box and install Win7pro x64 or wait 
and go with Win9. Skip Win 8. I think it's another Vista.

Once your computer is back up and running and all your applications are 
re-installed and _before you start using it_ make a clone on the new HD 
and switch over to it. Save the old drive for emergency.

Mike
