To be clear, none of the issues I was seeing were Operating System issues. They 
were hardware failures. Even Linux and Apple OS don't run well on dead hardware.

        Linux is the only way to go for the ham operator.  Open Office is every
        bit as good as MS Office, everything in the operating system is
        customizable, and there are scores of radio related programs
        available. 
        
        I still occasionally use WinXP, but my Linux machine now does everything
        I need from logging, e-mail, web surfing, photo editing, schematic
        capture /  drawing, etc.
        
        Best advantage, it's free, and it's secure.
