Re: Windows vista will leave too many people behind.

"Actually micro$oft forces all to upgrade..."
Absolutely FALSE.
No one is forced to upgrade.
I never have been.

If that were the case, I would not still see people successfully using Windows 3.1, Windows 95 etc.
As long as what you are using does the job safely and effectively, there is no need to switch.

Please explain in detail how you have been forced to upgrade by Microsoft.

What software manufacturer can you name that supports everything they have ever made and is also committed to indefinite support of all their products?
Such a commitment is probably impossible but it would be prohibitively expensive if possible.

and you speak correctly YOU dont want to run your old programs.
like my father who's old computer finally bit the dust spent a week
loading his old software"that he used often" to his new computer {***
by disk) only to find that half of it did not work.
I don't want technology to be held back
do to compatibility with something that is 20 years old. And if you can't
afford the new technology then stay with what you have no one is forcing you
to buy Vista.
Actually micro$oft forces all to upgrade because they stop support on
older software.
