Steve, Well if you are still on win 2000 you missed a fantastic product "XP" over the last 5 years that made 2000 look like a boat anchor. Vista is doing just fine, they are based around ONLINE HELPS now and not help files.
That's old technology. Catch the wave or float out to sea my friend.

Serious question. I am still running Windows 2000 and it is rock solid. I just don't understand what Vista does for you unless your hobby is computing.
