I hear yah John. I too feel fairly comfortable with computers, but will never go to Vista after the hassle I had going from ME to XP. I had an HP scanner on my ME system and after XP it wouldn"t work. HP said they had an update (downloadable) to make the scanner work so I dutifully downloaded and it WOULD NOT work. Several email exchanges with "techs" still didn"t solve the problem. Finally they had an Advanced Support Group guy call me and 45 mins later after much changing in the registry (and me trying to write myself notes as he"s talking) he had the scanner working. However the next time I wanted to use the scanner it wouldn"t work again. I threw the HP out and bought a new Canon scanner. I keep a bunch of those printed out emails and my handwritten registry notes in view to remind me never to upgrade again. XP is decent for anything I want anyway so why would anyone upgrade? If we boycott MS enough, do you suppose they will get the message? Ron - retired EE.
