In a way you are correct, MS direct which way, you the consumer, should go. But, our hands are kind of tied. It is move up or sit and wait for the old OS to loose support from MS. This goes hand in hand with third party developers. They need to move up or dry up in the old pond. I had attempted to stick with Windows 98 until it's last breath when I could not get an old update. That was the last straw and was forced to move away from my wonderful stable Windows 98. Along came XP. Marvelous it was. Updates galor. Game run like a champ. Some more freedom with files. We were the test bed for XP 64. Basically, we have been beta testers all along for MS. So we get SP1,2 and 3 downloaded. You get the picture. Along comes Vista with things we have been asking for over the years. Here we have it. An OS with more things you can do. You can do them faster. RAM is utilized quite well. The third party developers have caught up. Drivers are not an issue. With exception of a few old games, Vista will run just about all of them. The test bed for Vista over the last 2 years is complete and the new bed is made now for Windows 7. Sooner or later, all will be forced to move up. It is the nature of this habit we call computers. I like Vista and have no qualms at all. Windows 7 will come along and Vista will die a slow death like all the other OS in the past. But, I really think MS should offer up a darn fine price for Windows 7 for all the headaches MS creates by distributing a bug riddled OS called Vista. Just like the OS we have seen in the past where we were ultimately the beta testers. Such is the circle of life concerning MS.

So, we assimulate with the Borg and all is well.
