to be clear...I jumped from 3.1 to win 98, skipping 95, ME,2000, ..etc...then to XP... I always wait a couple years to see what those I trust say. Thus, I ...ha,ha, ha...missed Vista. I 'may' install Win 7, which came on a disk when I got my backup XP.

I seriously doubt I will ever go beyond 7, as the plans look like more & more incompatibility with all my coveted software...
