Because IMO anyone should be able to change PC without trouble. The problem is you often need/get (depends) another OS when you buy another PC. Of course you can scrap Vista and install XP but in 2 years?
Of course now the stories are about XP <-> Vista but the problem exists for long. Wanna try installing 95/98/NT on a modern PC so you can use your old PS on it? Good luck ! That is the problem I'm pointing at. Other than that, I perfectly agree that nobody forces you (or anbody) to change your OS just because it is new. You're perfectly right. But after a time there are compatibility problems and I don't think that running OSes/old progs in Virtual machines should be considered reasonable in this case. I don't think it is should be considered normal to get free upgrades on product. I think that, for the price of a software like PS, you should at least be sure that if Vista or any other OS comes out, you'll get any sort of update letting you use your PS on the new OS. Iask for nothing else. -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- *ist-D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
