Well, a 4X leap in hardware requirement, to "upgrade" from XP to Visduh, and the benefit to business is what, exactly? The change was so extreme that it pretty-much necessitated a new machine, a fairly stout one at that. And after spending all this money, performance may actually drop, compared to the older machine?! I mean, that's a hard sell. It gets even worse with laptops, where power consumption becomes really important. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
