I just want to say that, the more messages I read on this list having to do
with all of the problems between the different versions of windows and
upgrading and trying to transfer between machines, etc., etc., the happier I
am I just cut all ties to microsoft, installed eCS, and went to XYdos. There
have certainly been hassles with the transition, but I feel so much relief
to be out of Gates' evil empire that the cost and hassle is well worth it.
