MegaGlest / Re: v3.11.1 = Last for XP?

Although there are no future updates for XP, MicroSoft have kept all previous updates available for download, even for Windows 98. I've only just upgraded to Windows 7 this month, but I dual-boot with XP because I have tons of games that won't work on 7. I've honestly never had any issues with hackers in all these years and as more people migrate to 7/8/10, XP will become less attractive to hackers. As a heavy user, I've yet to witness any hacking, but then I don't go clicking fake links, or fall for those phone scams - which even 7 or above won't protect you from. The so-called known security vulnerabilities of XP are, to my knowledge, unproven in real-world usage. MicroSoft are angry at us for not buying 10, so they spread fear and half-truths to get us to buy their new OS which records and sends back every click and key-press you make (an ex-employee of theirs has uploaded videos about this on youtube).
Just stick Avast and a few other well-known free security apps on XP and you're good to go. Dual-booting is something lots us of gamers do, and have done so safely for years.
I only have Windows 7 to play those very few new games that are worth playing (including this one
). The last LEGO game was the deciding factor for me - the first one not to include XP compatibility.
