Conspiracy Theory: Window's XP

[Skull]

It's annoying but I'm starting to think that Windows is doing something to make their Windows XP program start to fail... 

My boss has a window's xp and just this week it's been having issues with outlook. I'd compared all the settings on his outlook to mine outlook (I'm using windows 7) and the settings (and routing) are all correct. Other workers have window's 8 and they have no issues. Few days ago, my other boss (he only uses the computer for emils) has a windows xp and he also had outlook issues too. (that's 2 different computers with xp and they both have outlook issues!!!!)

It's driving me insane!

Coincidentally, just yesterday I finished doing a fresh install of everything on my previously rock solid and reliable Windows 7 machine because it started getting wonky right around the time all those "Upgrade for free!!!" messages started appearing.  Memory errors even though the memory checks out fine, files disappearing, even a Blue Screen of Death for the first time ever.

Funny, my husband was suggesting this very thing to me a day or two ago.  Seems plausible.  Things are happening on our home computer that have never troubled us before.

I download all the "important security updates" notifications that I get onscreen: strange that my PC reacts slower and slower.

My ancient XP laptop (too old for Win 7 even) has become totally unstable in the last month... Losing IP connections, all kinds of crap.
