Hi.

I tend not to get very concerned about these gloom and doom forecasts about 
new releases from Microsoft because I've seen them with every new operating 
system release going back all the way to good old MS-DOS 5.0 and they 
practically NEVER pan out, so I'm at least skeptical at this point.  Having 
said that, I think it is like everything else--you never want to be the 
first or the last to buy any software package--the comfortable spot is 
somewhere in the middle.

Enough said.
