**DL[_3_]**

PS; Since I dont use a mac I cannot answer whether you can simply copy data
across, as it might depend on what apps were used to create the data

I have used Macs for years and think the are the best. However what I
dislike is that I am CONSTANTLY having to upgrade my OS just to get the
support of many third party apps. Windows XP is 4 years older than Mac
OSX
Tiger, and companies still support it, run it, and produce software for
it.
Yet many are moving away from Tiger and requiring that I run the latest
Mac
OS to run their software, or in the case of Quicken, to get my bank
statements. Intuit says that downloading credit card statements via
Quicken
requires the latest and greatest and so in April of next year will
abandon
Tiger. The problem with this is that the latest Macs CANNOT run Classic,
and
so my many apps prior to Mac OSX cannot be run. This would be like
Windows 7
not being able to run software that is pre Windows XP.

If I do the move, what software or hardware do I need to make the
transfer?
Need all my files, music, movies and such transferred. If I upgraded I
most
likely would be moving to a Windows 7 computer but I see no Windows 7
Newsgroup. Does MS think that web based forms are superior to Newsgroups?
They do have a web based gateway to Newsgroups.

Thanks
