Now we're talking strategies... the trick, then, is to convince the
right person it's worth doing. Which leads us back to the start of the
thread.

It's worth doing because it puts money in your pocket.

Otherwise I get to resistance issue number 2: "If it ain't
broke..." (this from someone contemplating an XP reinstall to fix
browser issues.)

I point out that this *is* broken... she claims this is broken in the
same sense that the qwerty keyboard is broken, and she ain't about to go
use dvorak.

A great many people have been contemplating the options, uninformed, and
decided to see how long they can limp along with XP. Maybe till Windows
7?
