[AccessD] Future of Windows XP

Hi John

I've found that often such printers can be driven by the "generic" HP II/III or IV drivers of Windows.

Old DeskJet printers, however, are often for nothing else but to carry away.

And therein lies the biggest issue I have had with Windows 7 (which I love)
- printer drivers. Many older small printers aren't supported. I've had to
replace a number of old workhorse HP LaserJets just because of the driver
issue. HP could have made them work but choose not to.

Most large copier/printers are supported though.

I find Windows 7 incredibly stable.  A suitable successor to XP.  It does
require different drivers of course so legacy stuff will have to be run in
the XP virtual machine thingie.
