I experimented with 3.x when it first came out. I *did* receive a 
notification to opt for the upgrade.  I did not like several things about
it.  I relayed my experience about that in WIN95 several months ago.  But
by the time a later version of 3.x was released, Sean or Dennis mentioned
that the problems were fixed and it could be made to look and operate like
2.x if one desired.

I might give 3.x another try on a separate pc.
