   DS>BK> DS>   I have to wonder if the warnings of "zero day   
   DS>BK> DS>   vulnerabilities to turn XP systems into zombi-bots" is   
   DS>BK> DS>   just a "scare tactic" by Microsoft, to get people to   
   DS>BK> DS>   throw away perfectly good working hardware and software,   
   DS>BK> DS>   just to satisfy their corporate bank account.   
      
   DS>BK> I absolutely believe that to be true.   
      
   DS>  I've talked to several friends who work in IT, and they told me that   
   DS>as long as I'm careful about what websites I visit, and keep my   
   DS>anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewalls up to date, there's no rush on   
   DS>upgrading until I can afford it (which is likely NEVER). And, with   
   DS>perfectly good working hardware and software, WHY should I upgrade??   
      
   I have two XP machins in my Inventory and they are set up to do what i   
   and and no chenges are palnned. I an using a Boot Drive Cloning program   
   to do my backups so when the day comes that accidently shoot myself in   
   the foot I will jsut swap the Boot drive and immediatly reclone it and   
   be off and running.
