I've just moved up from 10 to 12 (10 was very stable - only 1 unexplained
crash ever over about 6 months) - but 12 has left me less happy - things
are supposed to improve, but I have locked it up several times in a few weeks,
and have found another probelm with software which won't run correctly once
its disk usage gets cached. I'm going to 13 this evening (right now in fact)
in the vain hope that some of the bugs might disappear - not whinging, but
I hate it when things get less happy with time,

Daz.
