Ssome, you've got to realize that people like Gary and Ron earn their
living based on continuous change in operating systems driven by the
Micro$haft business model. Without OS turnover, we would end up with
a stabilization of systems and software, and the need for IT people to
tinker and troubleshoot and fix things would slowly go away. So the
MVP's here have a vested interest in seeing people and businesses
migrate to each new MS OS.

Stick to something you know something about. I have been retired for 14
years and I do not make a living doing computer work. I have no vested
interest in change. I stuck with W98 as a personal operating system as long
as I could because it was a fun system to tinker with. New hardware
requires new systems and I was forced to switch operating systems because
there were no 98 drivers for my hardware. Then a lack of questions this
year in the 98 newsgroups forced me to start trying to help XP users instead
of posting solely in 98 groups.
