Hi, Sam -

Actually we do have to move forward, because pretty much all new machines you buy now are going to have Windows 7 on them. And while you might be able to downgrade to XP (or some may view it as an upgrade), as time goes on, you're going to find it harder and harder to get XP drivers for the newer technology.



You're right of course, but the upgrade stuff really ticks me off most of the time. I guess I resent the "being forced to" part. There is no choice in the matter. Sometimes they're pretty sneaky (and possibly unethical) about it, too. I remember when Quicken changed it's file format. Most financial institutions went along with it forcing those of us doing on-line banking to go along. That particular upgrade was unnecessary, IMHO.
