Hi all,
What are you doing with your old devices which were working only under WinXP? I owe a quite expensive Nikon scanner which can be interfaced only with XP. By now, By now, I'm keeping an XP virtual workstation but now that MS have announced end of life or end of support, can this last for long?
Thanks!
 
Solution
simple, run xp in a virtual machine without network access

that way you still have internet on your computer through windows 7/8 and still have access to older harware that is offline. all on the same machine.
