Paul, My concern with upgrading Windows is the drivers. ME is a piece of garbage, but at least I (finally) have drivers for it. Scumbria

Clearly, some will and some won't - but over a period of years, Windows 9x/ME will just go away as Microsoft drops support for it - and all new computers ship with Windows XP or Windows 2000 If they keep the current copy protection scheme I'll stick with Windows 98SE. Maybe I will buy my PCs without an operating system or just build my own. Tim

Paul, re: "and all new computers ship with Windows XP or Windows 2000." Good point. As more and more new computers are out there with XP, the new OS will eventually gain critical mass. I would rather see people upgrade sooner. John
