save me the chore of moving back to Win XP
Don't do that.... I don't want the spam and DDoS attacks from yet another unpatched PC being let loose on the internet.
XP's days are numbered. No home users should be using it after end of support, and only businesses who know what they are doing should use it (i.e. one-man bands should be migrating away from XP).
Yes you may say anti-virus this and that, but fundamentally all that still relies on the core os being patched and up to date. Otherwise they'll become ever more bypassable.
