That isn't the MPowers problem, though, it's Microsoft's doing. It may still have some issues, but there are fewer issues than the classics had. I don't spend money easily, so I didn't get the upgrade to the new board that was offered between versions 4 and 5, but when I found out about the MPower I really really wanted it. I haven't had mine long, but I have no regrets. I really value the increased connectivity options, such as USB ports and being able to browse a network. Most of all I appreciate the increase in onboard storage capacity and the very fast response. I like to read large books, and it was annoying to spend so much time opening them. I also use my Braille Note as a Bible and that usually means looking up scriptures one after another. That meant switching files and doing searches all the time, which was not efficient with my old braille note. I haven't yet stopped appreciating the increased speed every single time I open a file. <grin> If you use Internet on your braille note I'd say the MPower is a must have. Although I didn't own a braille note with a browser before now I did use one at times, and found it too frustrating. The MPower changes that.
