   Hi! Björn,

   Yes, and discounted the notion almost immediately.  For a number of reasons, I   
   deemed XP as inappropriate as a 'next evolution'.   
      
   I run two different copies of XP in VMs already, only one of which has my   
   limited trust to run _a_ BATch file.  The batch had to be dumbed-down for it   
   to run in XP, and only in that XP.  It does not execute reliably in the other   
   XP, if at all.   
      
   Since my current main node relies heavily on batches, I would *not* consider   
   XP as a Good Thing(tm) for it.  Did you try that 'for example' FREQ responder   
   batch thingy I sent you?   
      
   The next evolution will be based on my linux VM (~640/1384).   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
