Yet another product will be left out as we are driven into upgrades. Office 2003 needs 2000 or XP to operate. Now windows 2000 is being left behind.

I just wonder how many new invasions of privacy will be included in this new bloated version of the OS?

I agree with all the rest, wait awhile before upgrading and Andy has it right. Better than any upgrade is a fresh install, clean and new.
