Hi Liam, Yeah, I usually wait as well. I wait for the dust to settle and for the issues to be discovered to upgrade. As I recall I used Windows 2000 up until late 2003 or early 2004 before I went XP, and it had already been out a while so I usually don't rush in to upgrades. Especially what happened to me in mid 90's taught me the lesson. I was going back to college and I had to have the latest computers with Win 95 on them. Oh yes, had to have it. Well got it for school only to find Jaws, and everything else worked badly, and the os sucked, sucked sucked. It was only to the second release of 95 did it become stable. The original original release which was only shipped on computers for a few months was crash happy. Can you imagine trying to explain to your parents why you need a Win 95 upgrade when you have 95 that the version that shipped with the computer was riddled with bugs, was the first eddition, and the second eddition had like loads of patches to fix that. Well, I eventually got it, but I have found first edditions and releases usually aren't cracked up to much. XP SP2 is much more rock solid than the 2001 eddition although many probably have forgotten the monsterous security holes and bugs in XP's initial release. As for VS6 it has been dead a long while. In 2003 they were urging people to move away from it, and in 2005 they dropped support completely.
