ezeht, I know your circumstances are very bad, but I was merely speaking in general. Hence the advice to do a fresh install.
And let's not forget that security updates won't stop yet, so even with XP we can enjoy Update Tuesday. So I will not change yet, I rather save the money cause I don't feel forced to switch. So I won't toss the money away as long as my Windows programs still work on XP sp2. I am a student myself, so not super rich or whatever.

I don't know if it makes you feel better, but: I can imagine you would like to kick those Republicans' asses. Because so do I

Good luck mate.
