Thanks for the heads up Neo...I'll try it.......there is a lot of very good beta software out today. Beta is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Much (not all) of the beta released today is better than it's predecessor. ATI has some beta Cat 4.7 drivers out that are better than the 4.6 official. When you really think about it, not one piece of software ever produced is perfect....it is in a constant state of beta-ness...it will surely have problems and can always be improved in some way. Microsoft is my choice because I want to play all of the latest games, plus all of the hardware I have ported to XP in the last couple of years works great because of the driver support. If Linux, Mac, or who the heck ever comes up with something better, I will make a switch at the drop of a hat. I have no loyalty to a company, I just use whatever gives me the most bang for my buck.......
