Also,
Like it is/was possible to get updates to WinXP via a registry hack that made it look like WinXP Embedded
Like the ATM Embedded XP
It maybe possible to do the same with Win7, there is a Win7 embedded that is supported at least till 2020
Yes, I've been using the embedded XP (WEPOS) over the last two years (with ESET antivirus) and it seems absolutely fine - though that doesn't mean, of course, it's not infected with some sort of malware... I still need XP as I have some temperature logging equipment that only seems to have XP drivers. I originally heard about embedded XP from English Bob (a.k.a. LinuxHelpGuy, WindowsHelpGuy) on Youtube, where he ran a very good series of videos on bringing XP backto life after April 2014, in his usual enthusiastic, amiable style.
I've just had a look on youtube about embedded win7 & there seem to be several videos on this... However, I'm not sure I'll bother going down the win7/LL dual boot now. Seems like a lot of hassle - I think I'll call it a day on win7 & chuck the install CDs in the bin...
Cheers
Mike
