Woohoo! Suck on it!
The human Alpha Male robot Al Gore endorses future 49 state loser Howard Dean. Yuck Yuck it is going to be fun to see our great President Bush roll to victory 2 November 2004. Sorry Al-Queda the pressure will not let up due to a limp wristed slack jawed liberal winning the White House.
Wow, in your rush for first post, you really have managed to create a post devoid of information or insight.

Windows 98 retires Microshit
like there's any question about what dean means. More time dealing with the middle east and not just bombing the shit out of iraq. most of the time when I read GWB's inane quotes I can't figure out what the context is, let alone what the hell the man is saying.
Bah!!!!
If you literally had to spend weeks getting XP configured you really don't know what you're doing.
It took me about 15 minutes to get XP pro setup the way I wanted.
In my opinion, the only thing 98SE can do that XP can't is run on lower end hardware. Also XP home had stupid "simple" networking built in.

Er, Windows 98SE is still the defacto gaming OS?
I know of nobody that uses 98 anymore. Nor anyone that has for a couple of years, many of them gamers.
get with the times, man!

Sorry if you were to incompetent to manage the same.
What are your Linux boxes doing in comparison to what you do on your gaming/Windows system?
I doubt you're doing taxing stuff like rendering 3D images and deathmatching.

Slashbots love to say there is "spyware" in Windows XP and yet never mention it.
Please state a *single* example of spyware existing in Windows XP.
Also, XP doesn't tell me or anybody else what to do at all. Wow, it pops some informative things up the first time you run it. That sure is controlling...
