As for immediately capturing 80% of the new market, I doubt it. Are you saying Microsoft will immediately discontinue all the previous versions? Aren't people still running Windows 3.1? And what about your own story about a major insurer staying with Windows 95, even replacing Windows 98 with it on new machines? Why will they treat XP any differently? Every time MSFT releases a new version of Windows, they label the previous version "crash-prone," but assure us the new one isn't. Eventually people will see through that (if they haven't already). I have a daughter in college. She told me a few days ago that Windows is extremely unpopular on campus. Linux rules, at least with the people she knows. JMHO. Charles Tutt (TM)
