I'm not seriously suggesting you rush and give Billy Gates more money.

In my opinion XP is the best version yet of Windows, the home edition is not 
that expensive, sometimes cheaper if you buy it with a piece of hardware. 
From the user perspective XP is much like '98.

XP 64 the 64 bit version is slightly less stable and drivers for many things 
are not available yet. I've done 64 bit versions of some of my stuff, 
example of the problems, at the time there was no 64 bit specification for 
TWAIN. I've long thought that for standard desktop software e.g. Ovation Pro 
there is not much point in 64 bits. I'm told that gamers will be the 
motivation for it entering the domestic environment. However I recently 
managed to produce an Ovation document that approached the 2GB memory limit 
for 32 bit XP, so maybe there is a need for it.

In due course the older versions of Windows will vanish and 64 bits will 
come in.

One of my postings went around the "loop" twice, I posted it to the wrong 
address and had to repost it. That may explain it. If it is a long term 
problem I'll look into it.
