   Sure, but, like any product beyond the lifetime of its guarantee, W7   
   doesn't suddenly become useless because Microsoft have stopped   
   maintaining it.  I've not had an issue over the 10 years I've been using   
   it  -  nor for that matter the 15 or so that I've been using XP  -  and   
   as the most likely source of problems is a browser, which *is* being   
   updated and my browsing habits have not changed, why should I suddenly   
   have a problem now?  As long as I can keep the most vulnerable   
   applications such as AV and browsers updated, then I have no fear in   
   using W7  -  on the other hand, for XP I can't do this, which is why I   
   don't take it on to the internet.
