I'm getting more and more tired of constantly 'having' to update. It's costing $$$ and often you get very little in return. I dumped Vue after finding out E-On's great upgrade tactics. EF seems to start following the same pattern now. There are some interesting features in P7, but to me they're not worth the money at the moment. Vista isn't worth it either, I'm not intending to pay over $200 for an os. Then there's the need of a new pc if I buy Vista.

I'm still using Bryce 5, Cinema4D v6, and some other older software. It does what it needs to do, so I never bothered to upgrade. Still running Win2000 on my second pc and laptop. Never cared for an upgrade at all, they both run smooth, so why change it?

I've asked myself a few simple questions.... Will Vista improve my workflow? Will Vista make my comics look better? Very doubtfull. Will Poser 7 improve my workflow? Will Poser 7 make my comics look better? Very doubtfull as well. Will Vista run my office application and desktop publishing / paint / photo applications better? Again very doubtfull. Does Vista connect to the web better? Nope..... even Windows 98 connects very well to the web.

WindowsXP will still do well for at least 5 years, most likely 10. I've only switched to XP because of Vue 5 and I still regret it at times. Can't go back now to Win98se, since Poser 6 needs XP, so I'll stick with WinXP on my main machine.

All in all I rather spent my hard earned cash on something more fun then some stupid upgrades I don't even really need.
