I think XP Mode is for enterprise customers, to get them to convert
to Win7 sooner, rather than later.
Yes, I think so too.

In your case, I wouldn't. You'll just get it with new machines in due course.
Now, as to your Win98 machines - I'd upgrade those yesterday, even if
it means throwing them in the trash and buying new. By today's
standards, that was a really crappy OS. But let's not hijack this
thread with the old

Well, Win7 is a much better OS than XP; it's more secure, easier to work with,
and certainly much more pleasant to stare at for those who spend a lot of time
doing so. But

Or what minimum version will do the job. With XP they tried to
embarrass businesses into paying too much by attaching Home to the
lower-cost version, even though Home

This can be said for any OS. I was using OS 9 far into the OS X cycle for
much the same reasons...it worked.

The exact same thing going from any OS to it's upgrade. Either you need or
want the new features that are being touted or you do not.
If you want to know what it does compared to XP or Vista, read some reviews,
you may find you want it, you may find you don't.

Anybody know where the details on these networking differences can be
found? M$ made similar claims for XP, but the difference had no
practical significance. I don't care that the Remote Desktop Server
feature is disabled. Will Win7 be able to access various types of
servers and SANS?

If Microsoft really charges $120-and-up for Windows 7, the company
will send a very clear message: Don't upgrade. That, or Microsoft
While it's easy to agree that MS prices are high for vista users, most
windows users don't upgrade till a new machine anyhow.

There is a BIG difference between network connectivity
(i.e., server connections) between Home and Business.
Absolutely, but more than a few businesses don't require
server connections, etc.

I can't recall any other vendor giving its customers barely 2 weeks
to place orders. To what can we attribute this? Does M$ need the
money that bad? Are they doing this for their own personal amusement?
Are they trying to keep ahead of the product reviews? Why? Why? Why?

Versions below Win7 Pro don't give you WinXP Mode. You might want to
consider that when choosing.
