Thanks for that link.  It was interesting reading, including some of the
links there to other reviews.   I've pretty much decided that there is
no real advantage to making the upgrade, and possible reasons not to --
so I am going to stick with what I have and know, namely Win 7.

Mostly true, although I have found some applications that let me run
most of them directly.  DOSBOX is one, but turns out I like vDOS better.
It gives me a method of running the 16 bit apps in the foreground *AND*
printing from them.  DOSBOX does not support printing.
