I solved my problem with win7
Liked the format of win XP, especially with Outlook express
It is a full OS with its own programs. ie photoshop, security, viewers
Here is how it works. give it a try, it's free

Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC,
available on Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate,
allow you to run multiple Windows environments,
such as Windows XP Mode, from your Windows 7 desktop.
Supported host operating systems. Windows 7 Home Basic
.Windows 7 Home Premium
.Windows 7 Enterprise
.Windows 7 Professional
.Windows 7 Ultimate
.Windows 7 Home Premium (SP1)
.Windows 7 Enterprise (SP1)
.Windows 7 Professional (SP1)
.Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1)
The process of creating virtual machines
1.From the start menu, open the Windows Virtual PC folder and select Virtual
Machines.
2.From the Virtual Machines folder, click on Create virtual machine.
3.On the first page of the Create a virtual machine wizard you can specify
the Name and Location for the virtual machine.
4.Next you can configure the amount of Memory for the virtual machine, and
whether Networking will be enabled or not.
5.Finally you can choose to create a new virtual hard disk or to use an
existing one.

I don't think anybody particularly cares.
For example, thankfully I have no use for a Windows machine of any
vintage since I retired.

I bought a hard drive to load Linux and ran it a few days
It looks similar to win7
but some favorite programs would not work. must be drivers were incompatible
even photoshop did not work. so back to win7
Am also retired, about 20 yrs now. OMG getting old
keep in touch,

My home computers have always been Apple since 1983 and my purchase of
an Apple IIe. My primary machine is an Intel iMac running a 3.6 Ghz
Core i5 with 8 GB RAM.

...then I have a 17" Macbook Pro, a 17" G4 Powerbook Pro, a "gooseneck"
G3 iMac, and three others relegated to my Mac graveyard.

At this stage I have no desire to explore Windows or Linux.

when i installed the xp mode, I kept the programs to a minimum
Outlook express, anti-virus, thumbnail viewer, and photoshop
thats all. I use outlook express for newsgroups and e-mail,
and google internet
then use photoshop for editing my photos....clean and simple
with this only, The computer runs fast, no slowdowns
you may have crammed too many programs onto it
don't know tho
