Yes, I do agree .. and Microsoft has a program you can run and it will tell
you what you need to update. My problem is that some of the hardware
companies would rather sell new equipment (like Iomega and the Ditto tape
backup) and Acers for my CD-RW. They both have flat refused to provide an
XP driver. What really burns me is that my backup files are on the Ditto
tapes .. so back to good ol' DOS. Maybe we should have stayed on DOS ...
