Well, when I can finally afford to upgrade from my old P-II I want to get Win 2Kpro. I sure hope it's still available then, because there is NO WAY I will ever have XP on ANY machine I ever own. I absolutely refuse to give Microslop a total free-access back door to all my personal data and put up with their spyware disguised as an OS. I'm still on Bryce 4, guess I may never get 5 now, and the way it looks from this, Bryce6 is NOT going to be an option either. Sigh Where are the Linux developers? If they'd just get their act together and make it so it could run all windows programs, there are hundreds of thousands of people who would switch OS in a mini-micro-nanosecond.
