Windows 7 or 8

[JB Banning]

Microsoft will stop supporting Win XP early next year. That means no more security patches via automatic updates. Your machines will become more and more vulnerable to malware and viruses as time goes by. Where I work XP machines will no longer be allowed on the network. For Win 7 users you can download from Microsoft "XP Mode" which will create a virtual XP machine on your computer. In that way you will be able to run all old programs that require XP.
