Phil,
    Thank you so much for those articles. Although, I'm not outside the USA, I 
like to keep up with these developments. I can't wait to see if Windows 7 will 
redeem Vista the way X.P. redeemed M.E. 
    Windows Vista, aka "mojave" "longhorn" et al., has a long and checkered 
past and I have been lucky enough to be able to wait it out and jump the gulf 
from X.P. directly to 7. I hope the wait hasn't been needless; if 7 bites the 
dust, I may have to just go back to Amiga Workbench and Fred Fish. (Just 
kidding, but I may go Linux!)
    -Andy

  And it looks like Microsoft are having a bit of a spat with European 
regulators which could result in us not being able to purchase a Windows 
upgrade or, we could end up with a version of Windows in Europe that ships 
without Internet Explorer.  If you live in Europe then, you will want to read 
this one:

  Hmm, I wonder how much the OEM version will cost?
