IE9 Won't Support Windows XP

Guess they're gonna force me to install my Windows 7 -- boo-hoo!

Beetle, you must have a lot on your "honey-do" list...that you haven't gotten that done!

Was hoping to get a new computer with Windows 7 before upgrading this old computer to Windows 7.
The existing bedroom computer will then be retired.
We have been working on "honey-do" projects though -- installed a new 'Smart' water heater & raised the utility sink in the garage 4" to improve its drainage.

Instead of "retiring" your bedroom computer, why not load Ubuntu on it and give it a try?

Good idea, Barney -- Thanks!
I already have Ubuntu burned to a CD -- not the latest version but maybe it can be updated after installation.

Just download the latest Version from the Ubuntu site and burn it to CD using Imgburn. Pop it in and try it before installing it.

Just updated my ImgBurn to version 2.5.1.0.
Thinking I'll wait for Ubuntu 10.* to come out of 'beta' before downloading.
