It was suggested in earlier posts, to keep 3.321, just in case 3.4 is not included in future releases. Just about everyone was happy with it before 4.0x upgrades & Vista issues.

You could also keep a version of 3.40 on hold for the meantime as well....just stash a version of 4.0x somewhere.However, I would think that whatever future product features come out from MTU should be well tested....

The only problem with that is you would have to re-install it online which means it can't be used on the fly as 3.4 can. When it is taken out I am sure you should not need it again anyway. I have not had to use it since installing 4.06. I think everyone has gotten to the point of relying on it like a crutch. Even older versions of Hoster used to glitch out once in a while for either internal or external problem. All we did then was restart Hoster or restart the computer and press on. Now with every little problem we switch over to 3.4 because 4.0x or the OS hiccuped (as KarenK put it). To bad the Vista users don't have XP to fall back on, eh

But Vista users could if they really wanted. You can install XP with the Vista Product Key, and it is authorized by MS. Although they don't make a point of advertising it...As for 4.06 It works fine for me too, so I am in agreement that you shouldn't be reliant on 3.221 or 3.4.

However that doesn't allow them to use one then switch to the other imediately as 3.4 does.

But it would cost an extra install, as my show computer has already used its upgrade from 3.321 to 4.06.

Bryan, I only suggested this to people who are still afraid of 4.06 and even more afraid that the next upgrade (4.1) will not include 3.4. So, if a laptop with 4.0x crashed & a person became completely terrified of running 4.0x at a Show...... then they could always run their backup with 3.321 ...... (kinda like a security blanket)

ahhh, right, I see. Good idea.
