"There is a good reason Microsoft has come out with new operating systems." To make money!!! Sorry Ron, but that's how I feel. Up until now I have always been one of the first to upgrade. I have been disapointed every time. I won't buy XP until all the facts are in. I won't buy it until I think I need it, and I won't buy it because it's new. I know Eventually I will end up using it, but not for awhile yet. My system is running to good to muck it all up again.
