I hope you can trust there was nothing personal. But XP is not an option, it's lethal, it's obsolete. It's just the way time goes, and I don't express support to Microsoft policy.
My main concern is security, as we do have lots of people trying to use other computers as bots and slaves. Cars are getting safer, airplanes are too, we need to take care. The possibility to cause havoc is greater than ever. That's my point.
I wish you the very best.
