and >Relationship to mainframes? My opinion: Some z/OS systems are blocked to access IBM sites for PTFs, etc. WinXP placed between outside internet and z/OS can then be used to do transfers or browsing IBM websites (and library server too). So far, at least for SP3 (WinXP 32bit), it was proved stable enough. Some of our users are [still !!!] using vendor 3270 emulators which are still working on WinXP, not on newer micro$oft toys. Those users need to upgrade really fast because of SSL issues. ;-) BTW: on some of our Win7 (64bit) laptops we have problems with some vendors 3G cards. That cards are working 100% on WinXP (32bit and 64bit) and Win7 (32bit). We use 3G cards to access z/OS when not in office. So, it is about stability, relability, etc. Your usual FUD... ;-D Oh, BTW, I don't know of anyone here who is using Win8. Just my badly eroded rusted 2 cents...
