<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I still have the laptop with 32-64 and have 64 bit IE and

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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> No thanks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I like it where I am, 16 years of genealogy files and

<DIV><FONT face=Arial> 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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Dan,</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial> 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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>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.
