   I'm not talking about not getting rid of old hardware, but rather about   
   using that hardware with an OS that wasn't built for that hardware. If   
   it runs fine, why not, but if it takes 2 minutes to open a window...   
      
   I've got a PC that is god know how old, but it runs under W7 and I use   
   it to rip music CDs to MP3 with EAC every now and then. I could take out   
   the CD/DVD (re)writer out and install it in the tower I'm using now, but   
   I can't be bothered.
