look, most all products made to run on win2k and xp work, hell alot of win95 products work too. xp came out 6 years ago so your software is at least 6 years old, you got your moneys worth out of it, time to up grade, sometimes the upgrade has better features. I am sure there were good programs on a tandy1000 back in the day

"your software is at least 6 years old, you got your moneys worth out of it, time to up grade"

WHO SAYS my "money's worth" out of a product is only 6 years?? Personally, I try to buy things with a considerably longer time frame than that. I don't junk a car after 6 years, nor a TV, nor any other consumer product (unless I'm forced to do so 'cause it stops working etc.).

So you're saying all XP software is known to have been written prior to XP's release?? Rather, I think we can more safely say his software is AT MOST 6 years old, and in fact could have been written as recently as 2006 and still been for the latest Windows at the time. Sounds like more of an argument why it should still work than an argument why he should upgrade.
