Is that the same as turning a new virus loose on the net <g>. fwiw, I'm reading online that running an actual upgrade to Vista is very iffy..one article is called "Vista upgrade: Brace yourself for 'nightmare'" and things like the real cost of the Vista upgrade coupons.... http://weblog.infoworld.com/dbunderground/archives/2006/09/i_realize_this.html http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=264452 http://www.startribune.com/154/story/871252.html http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/003020.html http://blogs.pcworld.com/tipsandtweaks/archives/003385.html Considering how rough a Warp 4 to eCS upgrade can be, we don't have much of an edge on them. I was lucky with the few NT 4 -> W2K upgrades we did; everything came over pretty much as expected, with the usual kinks (drivers, mostly). That said, I'm not a fan of upgrading, unless it's NetWare. Even then, there are some file system changes which can complicate matters. Of course, for Windows users, considering the standard M$ line about "reinstall the operating system" to correct even the most minor errors, a clean install should come as no surprise. Good links, Stan. Thanks for sending them. Wil, good point. Good point, indeed!! :-) -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
