So what you are saying is that you can work faster with the xp start menu but does it have to be the xp operating system (I call it my xp computer)? I''m with Gerald Levy on all of this and may just continue with xp. I bought my brother's win 7 with new scanner and printer when he moved to win 8. He likes 8 bevause he's an engineer and they always like complicated things!!
