Just to input more into the XP support. The biggest issue with using XP after the date is that XP, vista, 7, and 8 all share a lot of the same vulnerabilities. The first set of security updates for the rest basically give a blue print of security holes for hackers. Its almost like MS giving hackers code to hack XP. Its not just firewall holes either.
On top of that almost all XP machines are used with Admin access for regular usage. At least vista up you have uac. That means that its much easier to install a bot or worm.

CG - biggest issue is that MS stops supporting it and so will any and every software vendor that makes software for the Windows OS. I would honestly recommend upgrading to Windows 7. It is much robust, stable, and flat out runs better.Got Kneecaps?

there is a point when companies stop fixing their old stuff. 13 years for an OS is probably like 40 for a car. At some point they aren't going to have your part on the shelf anywhereBenny Blades~"If you break down this team man for man, we have talent to compare with any team."
