Been following its development for some years now just out of
curiousity. If it ever reaches "final release" status, will it run my
old Windows 2000 or XP apps? Didn't think so. That's much of the
reason that many don't upgrade to newer Windows: the excessive cost of
to replace all that perfectly good, working, still useful software.
