Hi All,

 Don't waste your Money on Xp. Win 2000 Does Just as Good of a Job. XP'S
compatibility Mode in Not worth Is Upgrade fee I am sure Microsoft will change
a Good $200 for it. I have Been playing with the RC1 and I can not get
anything more to run under XP then I can under 2000. If you want to see what
XP Looks like just download MSN Explorer and the theme is the same Same colors
Same Icons and so on.

  I have always likes Windows BUT this time I think they when too far. The
dram thing every time you change your HArdware you have to reactivate the
Program or it will die in 14 days. This alone is a Mess. What If They decide
to not support it down the road or You decide to Upgrade your computer. Heck
if it knows you changed your settings and goes for a New Activation Key who's
to say it is not sending all of your systems Info with it. I dont know about
any of you BUT I will be sticking with Win2000 Not unless they get rid of the
Access Key. Heck they even want to have you subscribe to run the program So if
you miss a Payment you can not use your computer. They are doing this in New
Zealand and Australia with Office XP.

  This is a Big blow to the faithfully uses of MS products..
