OT : Save Windows XP

Well, perhaps the creators of those .PDFs liked the additional features
available with the later editions. FOXIT is a pretty good .PDF reader,
free, contemporary, and it runs on Win 98:

It is more likely that the new version was something the users didn't
really want but it was foisted on them by an IT manager who just wants
the latest thing. I know a lot of people in the worker bee class these
days and none of them understand why Vista is any better than the XP
applications they had. If your mission doesn't change, why should your
software?
When I was in the computer biz, the most successful customers I had
were always several years off of the bleeding edge.
I thought XP offered a lot more stability and useful features in
comparison to 98.
