Upgrades continue to this day! As an example, I updated my last household PC to Windows 7 Ultimate (up from Windows MCE 2004 from HP: a frankenstein OS).

It runs better than ever (2.4Ghz, 2GB memory). Media Center works great (looks like MCE 2005). For a 7 year old PC with AGP graphics (7600 GT) it's surprising how well Windows 7 performs. Assuming nothing breaks, it's still a good 'dev test server' for .NET and LAMP work.

How are you going to test LAMP on Windows 7? L stands for Linux.

Those are just examples of course, but 2 methods come to mind: WAMP install works good, or "andLinux" or something to virtualize Linux.
