Why change when all is going well, personally I have run windows ME now for over three years. & todate (touch wood) have had a good run for my money. yes no problems what so ever. upgrading is fine if you have the brass? but most people I know that are involved in family history, and are on pensions & just can't afford to upgrade. Personally I am hoping for Linux to make the grade, this is partially free, & what I have been told very stable. Whould love to here more about this system.
