XP will still last me for years..... I've only switched to XP about 2 years ago. Did run Win98 until that time, but the updates of Vue and Poserdidn't run on that anymore. My main pc upgraded to WinXP and about a year ago the laptop and second pc were upgraded to Win2000 (which I like actually more then WinXP). Those systems will last years and by the time I'm going to upgrade I hope more software designers will run on alternatives for windows, so I can finally switch to something else on my pc.

If not..... I'm sure most of the software I own will still be usefull to me for many years to come..... even most poser content released these days is still compatible with Poser 4,  so it will take another 10 years before Poser 6 will the bottomline for poser content compatibility.

I think it's safe to assume I'm set for many years to come, since I'm not to eager to upgrade anything at all. I'm still one of those who uses Bryce 5.01, did not upgrade to Poser 7 and open office suits me fine.....

By the time I need a new windows, we're had a nuclear meltdown and no one uses pc's anymore ;-P
