Actually, from what I hear, xp will no longer be supported in about a year.

I saw the post about waiting 6 months for Windows 8 and upgrading. Would you or anyone happen to know where I might find old versions of windows 7 from a relyable source? That has been my worry the last 2 or 3 months is that I do not want to plunge right into Windows 8 from XP. Yes, I am still running XP because I like it but I know XP will not be supported in 2 years. I don't much want to use ebay to buy windows 7 but wondered just by chance if you or anyone else would know of some online computer stores that may have some windows 7 disks in stock for at least a few weeks any way. I have used Windows 7 with Window Eyes in the workplace and just would rather stick with that for now.
