I.T> guys eh? And they fear XP? Not much useable 'Information'. They
fear it cause if its done correctly even a baboon can run the machine.
 
When were you born? The mere fact that you have the intelligence to
even consider an upgrade is thanks to the advancements over the last
ten years. I have an old refrigerator. it works, keeps things cold,
freezes what it's supposed to. Got rid of it. Bought a new one, why?
All things turn obsolete some time in there tenure. They don't perform
the tasks in a timely fashion. The ice makers no longer fit it. The
power consumption is ridiculous. The huge size or building materials
used have been greatly improved. To have the where- with- all to know
that it maybe time to upgrade and have the funds to do so, puts you
ahead of many. Some are still searching for the 'Any' key. If this is
You, then a PII w/Win95 will be suitable. What will you do when your
'forced' to get rid of your gas burning car?
 
Technomancer:
the grief of using XP, far outweighs the
benefits. And the negative people I hang with are I.T. and computer
sellers/repairers; I ask them everytime a new SP, comes out for XP,
if it is now worth changing to XP. And everytime the response is
don't bother stick with what you have.

You are getting bad advice in this case, upgrade and don't look back. XP
is very simple and a wonder to use compared to 95/98.

It's kind of scary; I have never had one, not one BSOD out of Windows
XP Pro. The only GPFs I've had have been clearly identified as the
fault of the application, not the OS.

I mean; *gasp*; apart from it's horrid security architecture, it would
appear that Windows has finally become...mature.
