XP on my work station (typing now) but we have some dinosaurs running 95, NT 4.0, Win 2000.

Vista at home but I want to upgrade to 7, however after messing with computers all day not big on messing with my computer at home (see above) wife even nags about "never tuning that thing on". Plan is to just use it for word processor, spreadsheet, and photo/music editing.

However I don't (gasp) have Internet at home... when I stop dragging my feet on that I will upgrade my home computer.

Thanks everyone. Replies just confirmed what I thought. There is a really good mix out there.

The cool part is there was no evangelical bashing of anything. Just another reason I like these boards an P-people.

My database for the pawnshop runs fine with DOS5 but when it got too big to backup to a floppy disc I had to go to Win98SE to use a jump drive. Home machine is Win7, notebooks are XP.

Keep it simple, keep it basic. Don't need no stickin' Paper Clip. If I want help, I'll click on "help."
However, I do fine on XP. I don't expect to get much further unless I buy a Mac.

Windows has sucked balls forever for pics. The good stuff should have been programmed in from early on. Come on folks, what does the average joe do with their computer?

From Wikipedia here: PRIMOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PRIMOS was an operating system developed during the 1970s by Prime Computer for its minicomputer systems. It rapidly gained popularity and by the mid-1980s was a serious contender as a mainline minicomputer operating system. With the advent of PCs and the decline of the minicomputer industry Prime was forced out of the market in the early 1990s.

Prime Computer is also sometimes referred to as "Pr1me" and PRIMOS as "Pr1mos". (Note: Actual system documentation of the day displays the alternate spelling as "PR1ME" or PR1MOS", which avoids the unfortunate visual "hump" that appears in the lower-case rendition due to the height of the "1").

Nah. I used Prime 300s and Prime 550s. PRIMOS was always with an "I". It was just in the advertisements that the "1" was used.
