There are no "must have" applications that require an upgrade. A 500-800MHz PC can run just fine everything that's out there. Maybe you can tell us why the masses (and yes it has to be the masses, not some niche app) would want to upgrade. What's the carrot that they can do now that they can't do with their 800MHz PC and Win 2000/Me/98?

And BTW you can forget about corporations doing any upgrading. Cause not only would they need the expense of new PCs but the huge expense of new training on Win XP with no new features to the Win 2000s they already have. Business will probably wait for the follow on to XP in 2003 to think before upgrading anything.

JMHO.
