Hey Stephen - I agree with Ken - in regards to the Stability. I used Win2000 Pro for Years on this one desktop of mine. And, when I would tell people what OS I was running - they looked at me like I had a 3rd Eye in the middle of my forehead! But, alas - I kept running W2K - because it was stable - and I was running the Pro version - because I was using 3D CG SW. And, because of this stability factor - I could see why Ken would like to still be running it.
Vista was a Nightmare - causing problems on my laptop a LOT - and also making my wife's Dell PC desktop unstable from day one! -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2013 9:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] The Tech Industry's Darkest Secret: It's All About Age On Wed, May 1, 2013 at 7:16 PM, Ken Dibble <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> No, it gets too old when people who drink the Microsoft koolaid, and who > do things that we depend on, say it is.

You expect a vendor who already makes contemporary updated products to keep updating everything from the past as well to keep it current?
