Well - Despite Being A "Dead" OS XP Is Still Being Updated

[N1API]

I actually found this by accident. I was running the Window 7 drive and switched over to XP and got the message the the computer was updated. Found that two of my programs WILL NOT run under Windows 7. And thinking back now I think that this was the reason that I put them there in the first place. My "big" desktop bit the dust and I had to have Window 7 installed. The two programs will only work under XP because they need the DOS shell OS, (As they say "Shell to DOS - Shell to DOS, OVER"). Now with this computer going to window 7 I face loosing them again. One I use occasionally, my Satellite tracing program. The other I use regularly and that is my FIDO mail program, TERMAIL. Trying to figure where to go next!

I think the updates are only to security issues. Still not a bad thing that MS is doing this. Not sure but I think this ends this year....or until someone in the government forces MS to change their policy (again).
