These results are pretty much what I figured. Last year, Win98 users were in the big majority and, at that time, I was one of you. I moved from Win98 to WinXP Pro, literally kicking and screaming. I had no interest in changing over because I felt Win98 was working just fine for me and...let's say it all together...I didn't want to waste time learning a new operating system when this one worked just fine...if it ain't broke, don't fix it!...right?
Luckily for me, Greg is much smarter than I am. So when my mother board went belly up last year, he converted my new system to WinXP Pro. I wasn't looking forward to it, but was quickly thrilled when I saw how stable it was. Now I think of all the time I've saved not having to reboot over the last year. That alone was worth it to me. But there's so much more about WinXP that has spoiled me. I hate having to go back to Win2000 when I'm at the office! Phewy! And you couldn't pay me to go back to Win98!
