Why would anyone want to migrate to XP in the first place? Geesh! Maybe by the time MS releases Service Pack 9 or 10 XP sometime around 2005, XP might actuaslly work properly! I agree we all get eventually pushed into the next level of "progress" whether we like it or not. Hey there's still always Linux! ;) BTW did any of you guys read all the recent trade reviews re: comparing Win2000 perfomance versus Win XP, and XP lost badly across the board! Even the MicroSoft Corporate Hacks had to grudgingly admit that Win2000 still rules! I noticed some old archive mail-list traffict about Fractint on WinNT. Has anybody gotten Fractint to run on Win2000. Now that's a worthwhile topic for discussion and examination! I have moved alot of my capability to a Win2000 Workstation and a Win2000. All my older Windows and Dos stuff still reside on my venerable Win98 Box. There is no way I would ever move to ME and I still see no legitimate reason to move to XP yet. The only upgrade that I'm considering is to change the motherboard on my Win98 box from an aging PII-450 to a P4-1.5/6Gighz with 1+ Gig of Ram and upgrade the ATX power supply to 400 Watts. I suspect that thusly upgraded there will be no present reason to move from Win98 to XP-Kludge..... All the best, TG
