[or-roots] New Family Tree Maker

Walt.
I had the experience of Vista - and Win-8
I went and got a laptop with XP.
I still have the laptop with 32-64 and have 64 bit IE and 64 bit waterfox and winlive mail killed the whole deal, not to mention nothing I own works on it. I am not going to buy any new soft ware, Outlook did not come with it and neither did MS Office and other stuff I got with XP. XP was the best of the last - most people do not like any thing after XP - My phone is smarter than WIn 8.
  No thanks.
I like it where I am, 16 years of genealogy files and emails that ( could not ) be ported into Vista was bad enough.
  I have 16 years of emails and documents on my external hard drive, using it on the Vista was not a big deal, except the mail would not import as said, and I really did not like thunderbird. So. As an old die hard, I will exit the net when my XP stops all together - to use Linux next.  I have had enough of Microsoft bending our wallets just because they want to make a new OS and needs a new PC and more this and that, its a market and we all got sucked in.
I am done with MS.

  Dan,
  If you upgrade to windows 8.1 and then upgrade your programs to match it. You will learn just great it is from the old Windows. They made the program shorter by cutting out all of the old stuff that went back to 3.1 you can run it in 32 or 64 it will upgrade some newer 32 programs to run on it. The real nice thing is it is constantly upgrading and fixing bugs mine runs great I have used it now for over a year and I'm very happy. I have a touch screen monitor and that really makes it neat to use. updating from XP is like going from a model A to a new 2.5 meg sports car.

    After what M-Soft has done to windows, I choose ubuntoo or red hat Linux before Mac, my sister got an I-Mac, not sure what difference there is there.
      I still use XP on one laptop and on the other, its old too, Vista, After my bout with Vista, I don't want any more MS products.  I never liked MAC, but its getting to be more a choice that is popular now days..mainly for people who were done with MS.  I looked at a Win 8 laptop, nice, had a lot of features better than my old relic, but sigh, $ 289. just don't come easy and I did not really want it, except I have the feeling to keep up to date even tho I don't want to.

      Lyn, I have to agree, it seemed that there were no complaints from the Mac people on this, it was those who were early adopters of Win 8 and those who had Win 7 but were upgrading their FTM to 2014.
