I fired up the old XP laptop this weekend for the first time in months. 2014 will see XP finally die, with no new security updates, and that's pretty sad. My old cheapo Acer's about 7 years old now and it's still zippier running XP than the beastly Dell we bought to replace it, which runs Windows 7, which is just about the crappiest (Not Responding), most sluggish (Not Responding) and downright frustrating version of Windows I've had the misfortune of using (Not Responding).
