Sure, just fork over more money to make use of something that has no
guarantee of being rendered obsolete tomorrow. Nice if you have unlimited
money, unlimited time, and unlimited patience. I have less than none of that
last one.
My solution is to maintain the Win7 hard drive for full internet access
and basic Microsoft applications, and the WinXP hard drive for everything
except full internet access. No money was spent to do this, and all I had to
do was perform the needed upgrade maintenance on the Win7 hard drive, which
took almost two hours and three cups of coffee.
