Believe me, you'll be waiting quite some time for it to be debugged.
Currently I'm trying to get their tech support to do something about
the fact that my copy of Win95 keeps devouring my System fonts. It
corrupts them, I reinstall them, it corrupts them again an hour later.
Did anyone catch the CNN story (I believe it was CNN) about the
novelist who lost his entire book after upgrading to WIN95. Moral of
the story: 1- Never get something because it's new
2-always back up your work to removable media
