My problem with that, and the reason that I have always been resistant to Windows upgrades, is this:
* Windows apps (other than Doom 3) that I want to run that will run under 2000/XP: all of them.
* Windows apps (other than Doom 3) that I want to run that will run under 98SE: all of them.
So I'm paying $100 to... er... run exactly the same apps that I run now, with the exception of one game. Doom 3 may be spectacular, but paying $100 for XP on top of its $54.99 list isn't on my to-do list.
I clung to WfWG 3.11 on my old PC (P-133) until absolutely everything required 9x, and still have 95 on it to this day. When I bought my current system, I specifically got 98SE instead of Me or 2000, and haven't regretted it.
