| 150343 | 2003-06-11 14:04:00 | I am interested in this thread. Before you buy software whether it is a version of Windows, DOS, Linux or O/S2 as an operating system or MSOfficeXP, StarOffice, DoomII, FlightSim95 or FlightSim2002 as an application it is over to you. You are the one paying the MONEY after all and YOU are the only person that decides whether the software meets your needs. Software support can only go so far IMHO. Microsoft has been held back earlier by trying to make everything backward compatible. They have done a good job so far. I have floppy disks with Works2 (for DOS 3.3 or DOS 5) files *.wps and *.wdb which are now read using Works6 under WinXP. I have met people who go to The Warehouse and try to install a game for a Mac on the IBM compatible PC. Questions you need to ask yourself:_ 1. Does it do what I want? 2. Do I need support? 3. Do I have the right hardware? These are for example. There are still trade laws in NZ that will allow you to return the product. For mikebartnz I would suggest if you are not happy then return the product to The Warehouse and stop using it if it does not work for you. I saw ( and installed ) a copy of OS/2 Warp here wich came off a Magazine Cover disk. Did I expect support? NO!!!!! The magazine cost about $12.00. Think about it. |

| 150344 | 2003-06-11 20:15:00 | Quicken (Intuit) still supply OLD software to retailers for sale, and the retailers are supposed to know it's an old product. The supply it to many many shops and I believe most if not all of these shops know it's old and say so when they sell the product - so WS have stuffed up in your case. Mike. |

| 150345 | 2003-06-12 01:57:00 | I do not want support but I do want to get a valid registration code. As I said before it is a good program and is suitable for my needs and will be for quite a few years. I am interested in reviewing Linux options though. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
