I really dont want this to turn into an OS debate, and my issue isnt about one OS vs another. Altho KT gave a very good reply, i too have to take exception to your comment about equating not upgrading to XP to remaining in the dark ages. Whether the reason is preference (for any number of reasons i wont get into either) or financial, just because a person isnt using the latest of anything is no reason to belittle them. I realize your point was that a way to appease both could be done, and thats fine and valid. Latest is not always greatest, and to assume ppl who dont use the latest are backward or deficient in some way just isnt valid or kind. Financial or personal preference, neither is something for anyone else to be judgemental about.
