I wasn't intentionally blaming MS for this mess, just may have come across that way because I really don't like MS. I am a programmer, and because the customer is always right, I have to work with MS (they want products that run on the Windows operating systems) - I already pay out the butt for programs, O/S, games and utilities - and MS decided they weren't going to release DX10 for winXP, so I HAVE to spend another $400 on an operating system that will give me permission to do what I need to do as a software developer (and if I want to play any games that will come out in the next 2-3 years). It's fine if it were my business (expenses aren't an issue there), but this is for my personal PC - and it seems a bit expensive when the O/S costs a third of what I spent on my hardware.

And I'm new here, so I didn't really get into it... :rotfl:
