Folks,
I spoke too soon. After some offline correspondence with Patricia, I
tried some features of V6 with Firefox, Thunderbird, and MS Word also
running (as well as all the other background stuff that that wants to
run from startup and I haven't already disabled). Legacy froze while
using the Research Guidance feature. I got no error messages, but the
only way to free my system was Ctrl+Alt+Del and "End task" on the Legacy
process. For me, this isn't necessarily a show stopper because of the
way I typically use Legacy. However, I can definitely understand why
some people might feel that it is.
For over 30 years in the computer biz, my philosophy has always been "if
it aint broke...". I've been putting off an upgrade to XP because
nothing in my Win98 system was "broke", but this might provide a little
more impetus. Legacy, itself, may not be "broke", but I saw no caveat
about needing XP before I purchased V6 deluxe. I would certainly hope
that the Legacy developers give this problem some serious consideration.

Ed Lawler spoke thusly:
I'm running Win98SE on a PIII, 512MB and I've seen none of the reported
operating system related problems with V6. Can't say as I've stressed
it, though.
