That's an interesting viewpoint. A discussion for another time,
perhaps.

And finally regarding upgrading from XP, I use lots of software
- mostly music and photo, and almost none of it will run on XP.
And I think I'm a typical user.

I'm very interested in learning the names of the programs and
versions that do not support XP for music and photo work. I'm also
interested in both (primarily music) and I haven't run into such
an issue, so far.

PS & LR CC, DXO Optics Pro & Viewpoint, HDR Express 3 for photos,
Cakewalk Sonar for music, to start. I don't believe any of the
newer DAW's work with XP. Arturia soft synths, and probably most
of the others need 7 and up.

Interesting. Some of those are on the pricey side for software,
aren't they?
