Re: Adobe CS2
-----------------------------------
Fear not for me Ahjah, but thanks.

The leaks are with IE, (bad MS components) not the O/S. There was also an issue through a back door with Adobe once (IIRC), but not the actual O/S.

I've had no problems, and neither should anyone who sets up their computer properly.

XP is NT 5.1, and very stable. Run in classic mode, and you're home.
 
XP SP3, has MS support up to 2014 (it may get extended), so there are no issues with current security vs the latest MS O/S Windows 8 (NT 6.2).

I expect this is more a view that I've seen from linux users, who like to slate the MS popularity for having so much attention from the virus creators.
