You make a great point here about what we actually do with our computers. Most people can get buy very nicely on an XP box and save a lot of money.What you don't get is bragging rights about how high spec your computer is, but you save a lot of money.

One of my questions might be "why do I need to go to Winders 7?"XP is supposed to be supported for another 3 or 4 years and by that time Windows 7 should be really stable.

Yes, I am not taking advantage of the power of the hardware but, come on, I am not playing virtual reality games and all that. How much power does it take to read a blamed email, do some word processing and even creat a database with Access?Cy, The Anasazi ----------From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of glenjan42@xxxxxxxxxxxSent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 2:59 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Question for Windows 7 UsersI'd like to say here that Windows XP is still a very good operating system and is still a very good option for a lot of people with older hardware. I have win 7 on my laptop and its just 'different' to XP but nothing to write home about. Mind you, if I'd been using vista, I might have a different feeling about Win 7.Just my sixpence worth.

Lastly, as long as I am considering a new computer, should I switch to a lap top?Thanks for any guidance and all opinions welcome on or off list, Mitch <mailto:mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>mitch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
