Just a couple of weeks ago I got for free a Pentium IV PC with 514MB of RAM and Windows XP. I changed the cmos battery, the AGP card and did a clean XP reinstall in an SSD drive. The computer is blazing fast. Any newer version of Windows would make the computer slow as shit. Here in developing countries, we people tend to use our stuff for a LONG time. You see 30yr old cars running around; 20yr old washing machines, which have been re-re-re-re-patched. Buying a new computer just because of some magical limit date, just doesn't cut it. Is it unsafe? maybe, but why throw something away when it is 100% usable!.
