Robert was being facetious, but you're being disingenuous. You
support these XP machines; I assume you were professionally
trained to do so. You went to school (or at least took a class) to
learn how to keep those things running.
Also, XP has been out now for God knows how many years. I
hope it's more stable than KDE 4, or Microsoft should probably
just fold their tents and be done with it. (OTOH, I've been
running KDE4 since 4.0.0, and I have not once gotten a virus.
YMMV.)
