UPGRADE WINDOWS 2000

[Jeffrey]

I have seen quite a number of enquiries  about upgrading Windows 2000 to Windows XP (presumably because MS is ceasing support for Windows 2000 in a few months time).

However, I have been told that if I am happy with Windows 2000 (which I am) there is no need to upgrade. They say that hackers etc will now be targeting Vista and 7 -not  old 2000!

There is the point that it may be difficult to find virus and firewall support in due course, but that is a separate issue.

I just want to be reassured that the loss of MS support for Windows 2000 in itself doesn't really matter very much?

Any comments?

I'd forget the "hacker" theory - that's just nonsense - individual OS versions aren't targeted so much as Windows OS in general. However, unless you have a need or desire to upgrade just stay with what you like.
