I'm still running Windows XP because it works. I have Windows 7 that I got through my employer supplied MSDN account, and I'll use it if I ever need to reinstall Windows, but as long as my Windows XP installation keeps working, I'll keep using it because Windows 7 doesn't offer anything new that I ...

I like Chrome, but I had to quit using it due to too many compatibility issues with GMail and YouTube and continual crashing when trying to use those services.

No it's not, but that's not the point.

In an after-school computer programming club hosted by a local science center on their Honeywell main frame. This was in '71 while I was in 7th grade.

I tried MSE and it is a nice program, but on XP it would never auto update, I had to manually run the update periodically. I could not find a solution and a friend reported the same problem with MSE also only on XP, he said the auto update worked fine on Windows 7. Figuring that it was some ...

Sometime last year, around October I think, when there was a big todo about another security problem with Oracle's JVM, I uninstalled it. After that I found I had Microsoft's old JVM and removed it too, since it is no longer supported.

Since then I have only encountered one site that complained ...

Thanks, but I'll keep my Altap Salamander . The base price is $29.95 USD which includes a bunch of plug-in extensions, for there are three plug-ins that you have to buy, they are, Pict View, WinSCP, and Self Extrator. If you want all three plug-ins, the price is $53.80 USD. I've been using it for ...

...challenge, of course (even if I can't see what is really pleasant in this activity)...
I can. Back in the early '80s when I had an Apple //, I came to know the hardware and 6502 assembly language so well that there wasn't a single program I couldn't break in to. Of course back then we didn't ...

Agreed! 1,000%!
Though Google got fined, it wasn't enought to hurt them in the slightest.

you should be able to transfer the APK file from your old one and run it on the new one - most programs will install themself from this file

If you are interested, Parallels has a special offer where you can get their Workstation 6 for Windows and/or Linux for $10!
It appears to be something they're doing for the Windows 8 release preview, they say it's a limited time offer, don't know how long it will last.

The VPN the company I work for uses RSA SecurID tokens. The problem is that for the Android version it is capatible only with v1.0 of the software which is no longer available through Google Play (what used to be the Android Market).

When my contract runs out with my current carrier I am ...

Suits me just fine, one of the first things I do after installing Windows 7 is turn off Aero. IMHO Aero is just a waste of system resources that I'd rather be available for things I want to do rather than just making Windows look "pretty".

To me the loss of the Start button and the desktop that has ...

I could see tablets out selling netbooks and possibly laptops, but I can't see them out selling PCs.
There's just no substitute for a full sized monitor and keyboard with a mouse.

Yes and no.
