I remember the XP situation well. I am self-employed and XP required I upgrade my equipment just to run. XP itself was *really* an upgrade to NT and W95. My customers upgraded to XP so I had no choice but to upgrade my equipment. Hardware was more expensive at the time, the software was relatively more expensive and I had to re-write my applications. This time, my customers are holding off and I have not heard even a whisper of their plans. I had to upgrade my network, memory and video card to run Vista and my performance index is a 2.0! Although changes are not as significant as XP, I need to rewrite portions of my application to run properly. This time the upgrade yields eye popping graphics (literally), the UAC and WGA. Seems like a repeat to me too. ;^) Jeff Jeff Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 623-582-0323 Fax 623-869-0675 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/signed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/x-pkcs7-signature --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
