You asked, so I'll answer...
"NO" !

Microsoft products are always overhyped.
I still use Windows 98/NT and in rare cases 2000.
When Microsoft reeeeally has something that I "NEED" then I'll switch.

Until Mickeysoft shows me something I HAVE TO HAVE (as in "I" want it) I'll stick with what I have.

And since I am in charge of what my company does with computers, I will never allow anything newer from them in this building!

And since there's no such thing anymore as using Microsoft's software without them having all your info on record, I'll probably never switch over. I STILL believe I have the right to use someone's software without having to have a RELATIONSHIP with the software creator.

I don't need calls from them asking why I'm not constantly buying their lastest crap, or if I'm interested in new crap.
