Unbelievable, at XP ??

Wouldn't it be nice if they would make sure XP really works first ?
Newsgroups are full problems, not that all the other OS attempts were
perfect. "Forced into upgrades" if you ask me.

I wonder just what pressure this puts on the DOS CNC Control developers ?
Sure, DOS will be able to be used for a long time but the market (like
myself) certainly has found Windows apps. to be an advantage in many areas.
It's probably good that most Windows Controls will always be behind the most
current Windows OS. That way we can hang out longer without upgrading.
