I still have one application that is XP only.
There's an open source project that intends to support the smartcard reader
and its data some daykeep thinking when I have time I should look to see

Lawrence,
I just built a new win 8.1 vm on my new MacBook Air. It works great for those

I'm thinking that when the new Mac Mini finally appears...that is where I'm
going to go next. Though I'll probably end up keeping a Windows 7 VM for
those few things that can't make the switch :(

You're right, but I think my point still is valid. If you're building from
scratch, I still would suggest using the system with the longest lifespan ahead

attention in about 3 months.
fwiw, I had to buy a new PC for my mother in-law to replace her XP machine
