Sure, just fork over more money to make use of something that has no
guarantee of being rendered obsolete tomorrow. Nice if you have unlimited
money, unlimited time, and unlimited patience. I have less than none of
that last one.
My solution is to maintain the Win7 hard drive for full internet
access and basic Microsoft applications, and the WinXP hard drive for
everything except full internet access. No money was spent to do this,
and all I had to do was perform the needed upgrade maintenance on the Win7
hard drive, which took almost two hours and three cups of coffee.

Then stop complaining about your problems.
And if you think that spending 21? for a regular Win7 Pro is having
unlimited money I can't say anything.
And I think that insisting to swap continuously boot drive is throwing
away your time and patience.
And lastly Win7 is supposed to be supported until 2020, so IMHO it is
worth having all your stuff there.
