I have found XP Pro to be very easy to get along with. The MPLAB to Picstart Plus has worked well from the beginning. I have added Epson to my "no-buy list" because they have failed to provide a usable driver for PhotoPC 800 Camera though. It looks like I will need to keep a W98 machine around until I find a work around. I expect I can make a compact flash card reader work but I have not got around to getting one. BTW, Epson Support does not want email, they want you to send a snail mail. I expect cameras to last a lot longer than computers. So long, Epson.
