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. (LOLLOLLOL) Now, if I happen to get a 64 bit computer I suppose XP Home (32 bit) will still run. 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?

I'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.

Hi, I'm still back in the Jurassic Age with XP Home and Outlook Express on a desk top but I do have JAWS 11.

For those of you who have moved to Windows 7, what e mail program do you use? Also, how do I move my document files to a new computer? 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
