The way I look at it, Micro$oft's headaches keep me employed and paid so
I can go home and just enjoy computing on my Macs.
I have one XP box at home for Windows-only software. I also have XP
running under BootCamp on my MacBook Pro so I can run Delorme's
GPS/mapping software in the car when we're on a trip.

yeah.... I'm lead PC Tech at a local hospital. We run XP. Several
users have small locally-connected HP printers in their offices aside
from the big networked lasers. That stupid warning pops up all the time
on those.
