Well, I have made transition to a W7 machine
. It's taken nearly three days of very intermittent activity to get most of my programs operational. I hasten to add that there was the small matter of a crashed memory module in the midst of all of this, now replaced with 2 x 2 Gb slabs and a faster machine as a result.
I'm still trying to find out how to do old familiar tasks. If it weren't for Classic Shell I'd almost certainly be back to the previous system whatever the risks. Just imagine if every time you bought a new car you discovered that the gear shift patten was the opposite of the old one, the gear lever was on the back seat anyway, the steering wheel is now in the middle of the front seat area, and you needed to turn it clockwise to go left. Then there is the small matter that the accelerator and brake pedals had been swapped around. They just have to frigg about with everything don't they
.
However there are few nice features in there; it's just that the other changes obscure these for much of the time. I may get to like it in time, but there's a long way to go.
But at least Mix' will be happy.
