WIN-FCM and EXPO

I asked this question about a year ago, but I had a disk crash, and time has
passed.

1) We feel we need to upgrade our FACScan computer to something better than
the HP and something that is Y2K compliant.  We are a PC based lab, so we
don't really want to have a lone MAC operating the flow cytometer.  Is
anyone using WIN-FCM, and how does it work?  Does it compare well with the
B-D software?  We will probably download the demo software to get an idea of
the look and feel, but a demo is only a demo, and we would like to hear from
actual users.  If the Cicero software is still being made for this function,
I suppose I can hear about that as well, as well as other options if there
are any.

2) We also have a Coulter Elite, and we are interested in purchasing the
EXPO software to run our Elite and our XL.  Is there any current experience
with the latest version?  How does it work?  Is it worth the upgrade?  I am
happy with the DOS system, but technology marches on, and I would hate to be
left in the dust.

Thank you again for your input, and if there is interest I can share the
results.
