DOS is end of life too, a long time ago. But when you have software and hardware that require one operating system there is not much one can do to "upgrade" to something else that your applications and hardware won't work with. I would be very surprised if Norton and the other anti virus suppliers drop XP just because MS does. At least for now anyhow. I think there is a lucrative market still to be had selling to the xp crowd. And if I am wrong about that then I don't know what I will do.

Have loaded multiple linux variations on a system for many years but just like Mac, the applications I need to run my business just are not available on anything other than Windows. I do not see any advantage to running windows in linux or mac. I still do most of my work with XP pro and see no reason to upgrade. I know people that are still running DOS. I don't think the average person cares about what operating system they use, only about the applications they use and does it work.
