well dark ms has never listened to the customer, well if they do not really much.
Upgrading is usually better, unless there is a problem.
Old hardware, or being disabled no matter what it is.
It just makes everyone have to upgrade.
Until nvda came along we had to pay for reader upgrades and some of us still from time to time have to.
I have sn 12 but I don't need it.
I have jaws but unless someone pays for that I won't need it.
I have upgraded my hardware, but still, I have issues with all the new interfaces. Its not that they are new, its just that you are chucked in a room with a bunch of dalecs and expect to get along.
Its quite annoying.
Ms also likes to change the trends all the time without any real warning.
I am getting used to the win7 interace and even like bits of office and ie9, I bet that they will change again. It was only because of their vista screwup that xp has lasted this long and maybe even vb compatability.
THey are hoping people have switched over all of them.
But why upgrade if things are stable.
And unless my situation changes I will be staying with old hardware running xp.

Hi Alex.

As I said I'm not annoyed that Microsoft update their os, they have to, even if we don't like some of their decisions on interfaces etc.

it just seems though that they don't give a dam about running older programs, games or anything else, they just claime "newer = better" it seems without actually considdering what people want their computers for, namely to run programs.

comador didn't do this with their os or machines, even with compltely new hardware, going from amigar 500 to 1200.

Even the big console developers are realizing that people like running their old games, hence the wii virtual consoles, virtual arcade and other such software versions of older games stil available on modern machines.

Microsoft though just seem to expect everyone to update, buy their products and cope, because newer is always better in their opinion.

for myself, if i could be certain all my games and other applications would work under windows 7, I'd be much less wary about updating.

I just see this as a case of not listening to the customer and doing their own dam thing and expecting everyone to cope simply because they are a big fat company who just care about the prophit.

Beware the grue!

Dark.
