I have used rsync for this and it works well. I have alsi used google drive, easy to setuop and has auto sync features betwwen windows, and mobile devices.

Once again, with the security agument reason for upgrading. No one is secure anywhere, Infact it wont be long before XP will be more secure, as it will not be targeted anymore. The only argument, I would use is that if you want to continue using IE, then you need to upgrade, because MS have delibritly gone out of thier way to not allow modern IE on XP. Just use CHrOme iinstead. And don't listen o the secruity rhetoric.

I agree, Win 7 is much better all round, but the path to get there is just too much work. IF MS had an auto upgrade where you keep all you aps, and Outlook express upgraded to Live mail properly, and if the VM stil run properly on VMWAre server 2, and server 2, andyou didn'thave to upgrade your infrastructure, and if you could spare the time involved, and be ablto avoid th time and money involved inre-education, and... the list goes on.

With the know bugs in open souyrce ssl code, would anyone use a creadit card at the moment, regadles of OS or browser? Security has over the internet, has little to do with the O/S versiopn, or whether MS still supportsd it, Whih recent event show that MS still if presured to do so will fix security issues with XP. Its the nature of IT ppl to insist keeping updated, it's how they earn a liviing As a deveolper, I'm more concerned about backward compatibilty, and keeping users/ family members happy andf productive. I see no reason not to stick with XP, if thats what you want. Just don't listen to anyone who tells you that you are at risk, becuse of security issues. MS stopppoed producing new version of IE for XP a long time ago, as an incentive for ppl to move to a newer windows. But I took it as in incentive to move to Chrome instead. Don't get me wrong, I use Windows 7 as well, mainly as thin clients to acces VMWare. But the real work horses are still XP VMs. AS a small business, I simply cant afford the time, effort, or cost t invloved to upgrade, these VM from XP to Win7. Ther are lost of issue, I have investigated, and decided, I simply can't do it. Sever hardwrae needs replacing. Win 7 now longer has Outlook Express, (Live mail, not a real alternative) My VMWARE V2 won't run win7 in console with crashing. (althouh RDP seems fine). Apps I use on XP boxes, no longer available and the list goes on... So I agree wcom[pletly with you, and understand how this is causing you hi emotion.
