64-bit Windows XP Tested And Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the more-bitness dept.

    LOL! Why are you posting the exact same thing again? Because someone modded you (rightly so) as a troll?

    What did you expect, with that ridiculous demeanor? You attack someone for saying they have no problem using "Windoze" and then you turn around and make an equivalent proclamation about free software being the end-all of computing.

    I doubt you've even ever used Windows after 1996. 2000, XP and 2003 are perfectly stable and secure if you patch them and don't do stupid things with them. No different than Linux or FreeBSD, all of which I run every day.

    I swear I'd enjoy using free software even more if it wasn't for people like you.
