True, but...erm...Longhorn, shmonghorn. How many people here are still running Win2k rather than XP? (raises hand) What about 98 or (gasp) Me? I have no doubt that the content industries will try to use this to put my PC in "lockdown mode", but nothing short of an Act of Congress can get me to upgrade if I really don't want to.
what if an app, game, or content won't work unless you do?
I'm running XP on three computers, 2000 on another, Win98SE on another, and Win3.11 on an old computer up in the attic. The latter still has a lot of old games on it, but I must admit it's about time to throw it out.
