Thing 7 Technology
I just bought myself a new, cheap Windows XP computer. It came with a rebate form that I'm supposed to send in to get a *FREE* copy of Windows Vista so I can upgrade to the new os when it comes out next month. I'll send away for Vista, but don't plan on installing it for at least a year. I'm afraid that if I finally do take the plunge & decide to upgrade, it'll automatically download hours worth of thousands of fixes and patches and muck things up so badly my machine will be inoperable. I am, however, looking forward to Microsoft Office 2007 to see how they've souped up Powerpoint.

I can relate to your concerns about patches and fixes. Over the Christmas holiday I had to install a new video card in my computer. (Well, actually, I just freaked out when my computer crashed and it was my college son who spent literally hours diagnosing and fixing the problem.) After installing the video card we had to re-install Windows XP. Then, it took nearly an entire day for all the patches, upgrades, and repairs to download!
