TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The problem is, it's easy to say the solution is to upgrade, but what if your hardware is just too old for Windows 8? Upgrading from XP to 7 ate gobs of space on my office machine. I would think that might kill an older laptop. My laptop is an older XP. I'm saving my pennies for another laptop, but that's taking time, especially since I'm paying much larger heating bills due to the frigid winter.

Hello Dan,
First, let's consider the fact that the last stable release of XP was in 2008, that is, Windows XP SP3.
Strange, it is seems rather difficult to get an official list of post SP3 hotfixes. :~]
