IMHO am a fan of Windows XP I used to be a fan of Win 9x, NT and 2000 but
no more and when Longhorn gets > released and all of the bugs
worked out I'll probably take the risk(s) and pony up for the product. I
am the type who likes > to see what's new in the computer soft and hard

The reason I hate to see new operating systems with major changes come out
is the fact that current hardware is not designed for it. True, you can
plead and beg and wait on the release of the new drivers. Naturally you will
be promised that the drivers for new operating system compatible drivers are
ok. How can a patched current piece of hardware that is made compatible with
a new operating system perform as well as hardware designed for the new
operating system?
As a computer OEM, this may be my first time in delaying building new
computers with the new operating system on them. I will have to wait and see
how it shakes out. I would hate to know my customers are going to have major
issues with their perepherials etc. It was easy to get Windows 95 hardware
etc. to run with Windows 98. The changes were not so bold then.
Any advice as to how this new operating system change should be approached
will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck
