I wanted to comment on a reaccurring issue serval Other Postees and Myself have spoken about many times here. Money being the main motivator or the main purpose of Many Programmers/Corporations. My reasoning on this is follows, I have purchased a version of DS9, thru a online Chess Shop,ulitimially coming from Chessbase. After exhausting many attemps to upgrade to the 64-bit version,I was imformed that because My 32-bit version wasn't purchased and downloaded from Stefans's website,It wouldn't be possible to upgade. WHAT A CROP OF .... Same old thing ,Its about MONEY. While on the same Subject or at least along those same lines,I have run into the same old .... from Microsoft and not allowed My licensed version of Windows XP PRO.(32-bit)to the 64-bit version. I purchased a barebone dual system and installed the OS ,Floppy,and DVD/CD-ROM Myself, tring to save a little Money. Microsoft e-mailed Me and told Me only pre-installed versions of Windows,(when the computer was purchased),would be upgaded. ANOTHER CROP OF .... Not tring to cheat Stefan/Microsoft out of anything ,but I went by the numbers and purchased the pre-mentions Programs outright and in good faith. I would think that My version of each Product should be upgraded. An oppertunity to make even more Money came to light and They are holding It tightly in Thier greedy Hands. You know thruout history greed has been the downfall of Many. Now I'll get down off My soap-box and give You defenders of the Greedy Ones a chance to reply.>>>>Mike
