I have an older XP (Celeron. 1G RAM) machine (I keep it away from the WWW), that runs stuff that won't run in emulation. (same goes for my W7 Laptop), a lot of external hardware is 'not supported' on the newer OS (or Linux)

It now runs as a snail, with only the tiniest of official M$ security updates being applied. I've stripped it down (app wise), cleaned the Registry of broken linkages, and (Not Responding) frequently appears on the titlebar, while there is lots of disk activity.

Do I trust M$ (or any other major), to not 'help convince' me to upgrade my machines/ hardware.
