That's certainly your right to avoid any product you want to, but consider that WPA and .NET are the wave of the future. Perhaps at some point you'll have to explain why you didn't watch the 3D Olympics in HDTV on your P8 machine last night, and you can mention that you're still proudly running Win2K. Perhaps others will gasp and ask how you can do without the teleportation features of Word or the Augurizer in Excel2020. ;)
