Why upgrade? Microsoft is heavy-handing the solution to that problem. They are clearly moving to an annoying model of "renting" software. They call it their ".NET" program. Windows-XP, successor to Win2000, will require internet validation from Microsoft within 90 days of installation. Upgrade your motherboard or hard disks and you get to buy the operating system again.

ajtj99, if you look around your desktop you can fell how MSFT was so important for PC technology. I have a Dell computer and a Sansung Monitor where I can read Designed for Microsoft. I use Explorer, Excel, Word....... Bill Gates already know that PC computer reached a peak agree with you, I don't use 50% of my Excel features. But when we have a good and fast internet connection I think MSFT software with new features will work very well. New Technology crash was due telecom slowdown our computer now is 90% connected in the Internet, now there isn't enough money to improve broadband. I see second technology stage stronger than the first but first we need money flowing into telecom and cable TV again. How long ? I don't know PC = Business (boring stuff) Interactive TV = for FUN (Games,Video Conference, Internet Video on demand...........) Wireless devices= everybody will have one like cellular Nokia will be the winner IMO. Regards GFS
