its a pitty ms are not apple, its been something I have been thinking
of for a while even though they are a bit expensive.
I have to much to switch to mac invested in windows, though if I did
it all over again I'd have mac, maybe linux, and maybe some old
probably semi alegal windows for gaming or whatever heck I may have
just skipped this os alltogether.
Though since I have invested in upgrades to use 7 with some systems
here I can't see myself moving any time soon.
I don't care for touchscreens either.
Don't think they will listen, because the next move Microsoft is
going towards is touch screen and forget the keyboard.
Just like with them sloughing off accessibility.

When I bought my first xp desktop in 2005, I got a middle of the
road graphics card on the advice of the nice local place who were
building my pc, who told me that high end was only necessary to run
uba 3D games, but low end would drag down everything.
Now, as Tom said, the basic spec for windows has gone up a lot,
another reason why I'm sticking to xp for the time being, sinse
hopefuly by the time I need to upgrade, enough people (as I've
heard those very up in the It services markit say), will be narked
with the fancy, flashy, system intensive interface enough to force
ms to give some sort of alternative.
In fairness I'm not just talking about visually impared people
here, I have friends who are equally annoyed with it, also
ironically, I do know some people who say they find it too! complex
and confusing and want something simpler as in previous versions of windows.
I've already heard of an open source alternative called classic
shell which converts much of the windows 7 and vista gui to look
like, and resemble the xp model, maybe ms will actually listen,
---- though I admit this is probably a very remote possibility
sinse ms and listen are two different things.
Beware the grue!
