Winboard runs just fine, same with Junior6, and I didn't have to use Steve's T-notes fix. So far all of my Winboard engines have worked without conflict, but admitedly there aren't many yet (I plan to keep it that way). So, I don't have Tiger, but there are no Chess program problems that I know of. BUT, there's no question in my mind that this is the worst OS that MS has ever put out. It's bloatware to an extreme, and it doesn't even run some of their OWN programs that were designed for Windows 98 but came loaded on the computer. It's more crap fromMicrosoft that they released at least a year before they had a ready product. If you got Windows98 and you're thinking of upgrading to Windows ME, it's a very bad idea IMO. Pete
