I run a printshop and software to meet customer needs runs close to seven thousand dollars. I sure as hell am not looking forward to having to upgrade all of this software because I cannot open customer files or send them files they can open. Nor am I looking forward to the inherent learning curve to find where all of the commands have been 'hidden' and then get used to the new software along with all of the staff. XP was finally getting to be a stable OS. Like others have said - why not keep it able to run XP apps. I think it is time for a lot of people to seriously think of moving to Mac and get rid of this M$ do it our way or get lost. Getting lost might just be what the doctor ordered. The extra support for Mac should help them along the road we all seem to want to go - a system that is intuitive and dependable.
