Hi Dan,

I am still running XP on half a dozen computers here.  Some use IE 6 and 
some use IE 7.

So far most of the websites I visit seem to work OK, however, I do come 
across some that warn me that I am using an old browser.  For the most part 
I just ignore the message and continue using the site with little or no 
trouble.

If I have trouble, I don't really know if it is the older browser or 
accessibility issues that I might have anyway.

Visually the sites may not look right, however, I don't care.

Can't or don't want to update to the latest software every few months just 
because it's supposed to be the latest and greatest!!

If your OS and applications are doing what you need, than, if it's not 
broke, don't fix it.

I'm still using Microsoft Office 2000 and it works fine.  It still makes 
documents and spread sheets as good as it did 12 years ago.

This is my experience for what it is worth.
