Hmm I see, so I guess my best bet would just to wait and buy an external. I'm sure if I look around I can find a 1TB one (That'd be used for alsorts) for around £70-80, however, I'll be waiting 3-4 weeks before that, heck, maybe even longer, the fact being that my old monitor died, so I've forked out £120 for this new monitor (22" 1080p Widescreen by Acer, it's pretty amazing quality, and the colour range is outstanding), and since I'm still in college, I only get £20 a week EMA, but then a priority over installing Windows 7, would be the God of War Trilogy Edition which is out at the end of April...

... Hmm, maybe I'll just forget about it for the time being.

you should be okay for now, I dont think they are phasing out XP for another year or so.

Microsoft's XP extended support goes until 2014.  However, W7's adoption rate is very high so XP is on the way out.

Still, your XP computer isn't going to simply implode in 2014 so take it with a grain of salt.

ah, for some reason I thought it was 2011

also, that would be funny, loads of PC's just going "boom!" on the day the support goes
