I guess as long as it floats your boat.
I won't tolerate anything older than Windows 7 Professional, Ubuntu 14.04 or OSX Lion on my network. What's the specs on your laptop? Slave to the Patriarchy no more

You can buy Windows 7 Upgrades for around $50 these days (Professional or Ultimate, or lower editions if you really want), I have no idea if the discs check for previous media or not, but if so you can always download the Digital River ISO. That would give you a proper 64-bit installation that would run smoother and faster on your Laptop. 
Get rid of stupid Windows and upgrade to ubuntu.

This is why marketing works so damned well and why everything is so way over priced. Holy crap dude, I was talking about e-mail first off, secondly with skype and twitter who uses email? Third, my cable company provides me with it anyway. I simply posted this story like one would if they were wearing their eyeglasses on their heads looking needlessly for them. I posted it because it was a funny "DOH" story. 
Mozilla Thunderbird may be of use. Make sure to set the account up as IMAP rather than POP3 though for added peace of mind.

Aractus is right.
If you're running a 32-bit operating system on 64-bit capable hardware, you're not exactly using your hardware for the degree that is capable of and technically would be a waste of money. That is why I asked for the make and model of your laptop Brian. It would easily answer the question of, are you using your equipment properly? Slave to the Patriarchy no more
