Thanks for the words of encouragement, Web Kracked and Terrence. I

I am presently running a version of XP that does not require the OS
to call home. i.e. I can avoid activation, and I truly will hate to
give that up, but XP support at the University will go away in the
next couple of years, so I'll either have to switch to some version
of Linux or go to W-7.

Although I have put Windows 7 on the laptop my wife bought me because
it couldn't be any worse than Vista, on my desk top I'm using Ubuntu
Linux. Of the two, Windows or Linux I think that you would be better
off trying Ubuntu or some other flavour of Linux that might be more
suited to your requirements when support for XP finally expires.
Heck, I'm still running desktops with windows 98 on them - if it aint
broke...
That's funny. I have a machine sitting here dual booted with an early
Debian (circa 2001) and Windows 98. I was writing C++ texts and every
time I crashed a test a program, 98 had to be rebooted. So I developed
on Linux, got every feature I liked running for the student program,
perfected by testing on the Win 98 box. Painfully. Slowly. Agonizingly.
It's broke, but probably not for what you are doing.
I run Ubuntu, but my wife uses tons of Win programs and I don't want
to fuss with getting them all to work under wine so I am looking at
windows for her current Vista machine. Yeah, I know. . .
I understand, for I need Finale, or a compatible music notation
program, that will run under Linux or at least with WINE. That'll
require some experimenting.
