Is anyone using Legacy v9.x on Windows XP?
How well does it work?
How much memory does it need?

I have the latest versions of Legacy and RoosMagic on 2 computers
using Windows 10.
My favorite program changes frequently. Currently I favor Legacy even
though RM is much faster. I prefer the navigation on Legacy.

This Legacy Family Tree page
https://legacyfamilytree.com/Frequent.asp#What%20are%20the%20system%20requirements
no longer mentions support for Windows XP for the latest version of the program.
What are the system requirements?
Pentium class computer.
VGA or higher display.
Windows 10 Pro or Home, Windows 8, Windows 7 (Legacy runs on newer Macs
with Windows installed under Bootcamp, Parallel or Fusion . Legacy runs
on Linux machines with a Windows emulator like VMWare or Sun's Virtual Box) Note: Runs on 64bit Windows platforms.
A Hard Disk room for at least 500 megabytes of available space.
8 GB of RAM minimum. <--------------------------------------------------------
A mouse.
Internet connection recommended.
It may run on Win XP but you might have printing or other problems. If
you do have any problems the first support answer will be to upgrade to Windows 7 or later because Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft

OK, that puts it out right there.
I'll be converting all my Legacy files to Rootsmagic, which in any
case is faster.

If you buy RootsMagic v7 now you will also get a key to unlock RM8 when it
is released. It is presently running late - was scheduled to be released >before the end of the year - but it won't be. RM8 will also have a native >Mac 64bit version.
I'm dreading it, fearing that it may be as unusable as Legacy 9.x

That just goes to show how it's all just personal preference.
I personally feel that Legacy 9.x is the most user-friendly genealogy
program out there. It fits perfectly for the way I prefer to work. I had >RootsMagic at one point, hated it, and switched back to Legacy. I've
also tried PAF, Family Tree Maker, Ancestral Quest, GAMPS and others.
You name it, I've probably tried it. (Unless it's Mac only)
I always end up going back to Legacy. :)
That's why I recommended to the OP that they should download the trial >versions of several different ones. Try them. Then decide which one THEY
like the best.
Asking other users what they like is pretty pointless. Everyone will
have their own opinions and in the end none of those opinions will mean
squat to the OP. What will matter is which program the OP likes.

Oh I like the user interface of Legacy, but it appears that version 9
is such a memory hog that I would have to buy a new computer, which,
as a pensuioner, I can't afford.
Rootsmagic 7 still lets me interface with FamuilySearch, Legacy 8.x
doesn't.
