Good to know, thanks.  None of the reports I've read mentioned this, other
than it was probably grouped under the generalization of operator-system
protection.

Yeah, what's up with them putting XP mode only in the Pro versions?  That
bites.  It seems to me that Home users need the feature more than Pro users
since Pro users (both office systems and techies) are more likely to upgrade
their peripherals and such while Home users tend to hold onto their equip
for as long as it will work.

Good to hear.  Let us know if you come across any specific compatibility
problems, please.

Yeah, stuck in a rut, I guess. I don't really like webmail myself.  It just
feels so insecure to me, especially with some companies losing all their
data and such (well, that was slightly different, but it could happen
anywhere).

Any idea if older versions of Outlook will be supported?

I think Microsoft is still in appeals, so it may not be FULLY enforced yet
(unless I missed an episode of that soap opera).

I've read a few reports that said it was slow, though the majority I've read
have gone with faster.

Can you or anyone tell me the minimum system requirements for Win7?  I need
to figure out which machines I can even upgrade.
