Like, say, Apple? Or are all those OS upgrades (10.1/2/3/4/5/6) free? I'm firmly in the camp that says once you've got a system runnning, don't mess with it (also know as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"). And I certainly don't want to pay them to break things for me. I did upgrade my old notebook with the XP service packs (SP1-3), but that's it. And I'm still building software using Visual C++ 6.0 and Embedded C 3 (except two applications built with Visual Studio 2005). That lasted me for six years - I'm now switching to a new platform. My new notebook is where I'm trying out new versions of Lightroom and Elements; I might also repartition the disk and try out Windows 7 (although I'm leaning more towards creating a virtual machine for that). But I wouldn't consider switching my production environment until I'd tried running everything I cared about on a test configuration. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
