I can't speak to support issues other than routine patches. I'm
upgrading my vista stuff to 7. When they stop patching xp, I may run
ubuntu or mint only on that 2002 vintage machine. That pc still does
pretty good with its 2.4 ghz cpu and 1 gb ram.

Well, so does Slackware 3, when compared to anything today, or any
release N of Ubuntu when compared to N+1... :-)

I saw this post today about Win8:

The blogger commented that Win8 interaction is medical disaster
waiting to happen for users of laptops and desktops because of
repetitive motion injuries caused by constantly needing to touch the
screen.<br>
<br>
Another overlooked issue, is that touching the screen will
eventually dirty the screen requiring cleaning.<br>
