I bought a new laptop for my mother(72!), and I insisted that we got with  windows XP and not Vista. And if I see all these complaints, I'm glad I did. I think the big difference between a new upgrade for  an operating system and an application like Poser, is that you can't fall back easily to the old version , or you have to make a double or multiple boot installation which takes a lot of harddrive space and causes other troubles. Speaking about upgrades: I upgrade to Autocad 2007 last year from AutocadLT 2006. Last month I got an E-mail from autodesk where they told me that I was allowed to keep using the old version. I was unpleasant surprised about that! as if it wasn't legally possible to use the old version and by some reason I was granted to do so!. Suppose this would happen with poser, Vue or whatever other popular application around here: They wouldn't sell any upgrade at all!.

Thijs.
