Yuki:
I had to reformat my hard drive. I took this as an opportunity to install Windows 7. I expected a learning time, but I think Win 7 is a poor replacement for Win XP. I add that Office 2007 is needlessly complicated and more cumbersome than Office XP. You are quite correct when you say that we are trapped in Windows prison.

Wonderful. I would not think of going back. A few interface differences that I might have preferred otherwise. But we are trapped in Windows prison (and as TJ has pointed out, that is where the data providers live, so that is where we have to live). In fact, 7 is not a "successor" to XP. You have to do a clean install because there is no direct upgrade path, and I'd recommend a state-of-the-art box. If anyone is running 7 on an XP video card from 8 years ago, the experience is going to be substandard, to say the least. Back to the original thread ... still using The Bat! for email, and quite happy with it in 7. There is a free backup utility built into the program (hint, TJ) that restores *everything* perfectly. You don't skip a beat or lose a message.
