   If your experience with OS upgrades is anything like mine, it won't   
   cost anything. There are plenty of things I don't particularly care   
   for with any OS, Windows or not, but backwards compatibility isn't an   
   area where I can throw stones. MS has consistently done an amazing job   
   in that respect.
