I'm still running Windows 7, and plan to continue to do so, maybe even 
for years to come.  I'm done with Windows, I'll give Linux a shot when I 
must switch.

I still know "XP forever" people...  I'm wondering what they are using 
for a browser these days, even Firefox open source projects like 
Seamonkey have dropped XP and Vista support.
