Steve, OT I would buy Windows XP if I were in the market for a new PC, which I am not. I understand there is multimedia support which is good for digital camera and digital video users. BTW, Windows 2000/ME supports SanDisk USB card readers without the need of any separate drivers, FWIW. I have a Pentium-based tower PC running at 400 or 600 MHz and 256 MB of RAM and a DSL connection. I haven't found any new software applications which would justify an upgrade purchase beyond Win 98 that I am currently running. At work all of our PC's are running Win 95 which doesn't allow for USB support, so everyone with USB cradles for their handhelds is upset with our IT department. I imagine our hospital has budgeted for an upgrade of the OS across the enterprise. I don't know what pent up demand for upgrades exists. I imagine many blew their '99-'00 budgets for Y2K compliance issues. Are most people seeing a trend toward significant IT purchases to upgrade to XP? Aus
