I'm talking about this

maybe whoever is in charge of IT will migrate them to Xp or directly to Vista.I In any case i will keep on using Xp for a very long time

I can beat that. I know a hospital which uses about 300 Dell Optiplex GXa's, with 300MHz Pentium II's and DOS apps!

I'm going to have to upgrade my laptop to run vista. They say if you don't have a least a 1GB of RAM forget it.

Is there a possiblity of get XP updates in a file format(download as a file)?

Becos if they stop updation and if i reinstall XP after that how can i update?

you can download sp3 MAYBE like you could for vista.. I don't know though..

For vista, you download sp1, install it anywhere, in one file.
