    I'm a long-time (read: 28 years) Unix/Linux user. Having said that, I do run Win2K in a VM (virtual machine) under Linux Mint 11, in order to run my income-tax software, once-a-year.

    It's a "necessary evil" -- like having an annual prostate exam: important to do, but you feel so much better when it's over. OTOH, some like it more often... I guess it's not much different, with Micro$oft products.

    I absolutely HATE WIN7. We are forced to use it at work.

    Currently running WIN2Kpro on one machine, and XPpro on this one.

    With all the back door WINDOZE BS inherent in this system, I'm not interesting in updating to newer system with possibly even more BS in it just for the sake of "new and pretty."

    Agree with you Wullie. Windows 8 look great. It just has about 1/2 the funcionality of Windows 7.

    I won't know if I'll like it or not until the Windows tablet comes out. Windows 8 was specifically designed for a touch screen, so I'll reserve judgment for a little while.
