I played with them a little (I noticed that I had both 5 and 6 as well), and except for a little functionality difference I didn't see anything I'd consider an interface difference.

They have provided incredible bargains to people over the years, and what's more, they made every effort to make apps backward compatible so that people can use old dependable software on newer systems. For instance, the Usenet reader I'm using now is News Xpress, a program written for Windows 3.1! It runs just dandy on XP, 15 years later. |
