Dave, I looked around for data to back up the incompatibility claims you made and could find none. I have asked and clarified my question, yet you have posted no relevant information so far. Instead, you have simply posted slightly negative reviews (not a point of contention), and clipped the worst parts as if they answer my question, which they don't. I'm going to have to assume your statements about compatibility issues with ME were baseless and an attempt to say anything negative regardless of accuracy. Bye, Mike

--Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, Sm@rt Partner, says: "With the heart of the safety system activated, ... the same machine would see its overall speed drop by more than 30 percent from one run to the next with little rhyme or reason." "Worse still, ...even when Me was behaving, it still ran slower than Windows 98SE with Internet Explorer 5.5 on the same machine. Throw in that high-usage 30 percent ball and chain, and you're talking about a computing experience that's going to make you want to kick your monitor off the desk." -- i've heard from someone on the winme perf team who says it's such a slow pig he'll never install it on his home machine. andy
