This is how Microsoft use their muscles in Europe, I don't know about across the water where they developed this nonsense. Even here you could get WIN7 on a new PC if you buy an outgoing model. I currently have Vista which I've gotten used to and really don't know enough to be unhappy with! But I've read what you guys say about it. Anyway, this computer is 7 years old and I just hope it holds out for a while longer though I've been told that's usually the time to upgrade. When you know how it works and the speed is OK why not hold on to it. I also have a 1o year old laptop which works fine, as long as I have the time to let it think things over :-) > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Richard J.
