    If it sucks as much in comparison to XP as Matrix Reloaded did in comparison to Matrix, forget about crashing all the time... this thing won't even boot up!!!

  6. Re:Gotta keep the upgrade revenues... by iainl · · Score: 1, Troll

    Really? Microsoft shipped me a free upgrade CD with all the stuff on, having bought a retail box copy of 98 (upgrade). After a couple of months they did renege on the idea and start asking about 10 for it, ostensibly to cover the cost of making it and shipping (all the UK ones were being shipped from Microsoft Ireland for some perverse reason).

    Personally, I did this perfectly legally. Microsoft Europe, in some bizarre moment of benevolence, shipped me a free "Second Edition Upgrade" disk that turned 98 into 98SE in return for the proof of purchase bit off the retail 98 box.

    Of course, I then proceeded to do a fresh install with an OEM copy of SE rather than use the upgrade disc, as I then had fewer random bits of cruft lying around. But thats another story.
