Windows 7 is merely in beta and won't be out for the general public THIS year. It is based upon VISTA and doesn't indicate MS is dumping VISTA--just that they are always working on new versions for the future with new features. Joan In a message dated 1/16/2009 11:51:41 A.M.

Well, then Mike has a long wait :o) I thought that is what he said, and I could be wrong. I want my XP back, but in my laptop. Can't do the change things, as too many expenses with my new toys, but maybe someday_that day will come and XP won't be around anymore. I'll have to tell Mike about the new version, not being anything but an upgrade of Vista. That will make him VERY happy :o( LOL! Thanks Joan, for your reply!!!
