What to do with an ole Vista/OS laptop?
The DH got tired of the slooow quirky Vista on her laptop, and it is probably 5 years old, so we replaced it with a new Dell Windows7. OK, that works well, but I'm wondering if I can put the old HP to...

I really appreciate all the responses. I haven't done anything yet, and am still considering what I will do. The computer still works, but as it has been my wifes since it was new int he box, she has complained many times about long times to boot, or page loads, etc.n, and has not been very good at all in keeping up on running Malwarebytes, Super-antispyware, etc. So I do that for her from time to time.
She used it a lot for Skyping with her sisters in Europe, andchecking in on streaming webcams in her home town in Norway. I think a lot of this is memory hog use, and she tends to leave a number of tabs or iterations of IE or Mozilla open at the same time. Her new Dell Win7 is better, so I'm thinking processor speed andlack of memory may be the biggest problem, as well as it being Vista. The computer has never had any virus issues; just the typical for spyware.
But if MS is dropping support for WinXP (which I am using on my reaaaaly old Toshiba laptop (8 years ++), then should I presume they will drop support for Vista?
