I tested for Vista and 7. After those beta programs ended I went straight back to XP. Compared to Vista and 7 (can't speak for 8) it's very lightweight and can install on just about anything out there.
The biggest issue now is finding drivers for newer laptops, especially for the audio.
The biggest thing that stops me from that is running Winamp with DSP plugins in WINE.
However, one laptop upstairs runs Debian full time. Mostly for streaming stuff into VLC Player or other similar movie players.

This guy is connecting via PC JRs. I use his stuff to get any old DOS box online via LNE100TX (for PCI) or NE2000 clones (for ISA).
I have a laptop that I loaded Debian onto it for watching some AVI files and other small things. The software available always seems to be a compromise with Linux though. That's the main reason I can't just straight up switch over from Windows yet.
However, I would love to the day that it's possible.
I do body work and honestly the douche'ist of assholes are the people who own BMWs and Audis.
While we are at it, both of those cars have nothing special going on that commands them as a rite of passage.
Maybe they have fast engines, I don't know. I don't really care. As long as it can keep up with traffic reliably that's all I give a shit about.
I do pirate software, I won't lie. Not as much these days since I'm not a 16 year old boy any more. But, I have used it to legitimately re-download copyrighted games where I can't be assed to find the CD or want to deal with copy protection for those games.
Didn't they actually start jetting carbs to run leaner once the limits were imposed? I may be wrong, but I know old motorcycles made after 1979'ish (give or take a year where you lived) started having leaner jetting to reduce emissions. And running leaner == hotter?
I could be totally wrong though.
The whole aspect of M$, Krapple, MAFIAA, etc. just makes you look childish. To me, it proves that you are unable to draw a point without using tired, old cliches.
Yes, these corporations have all done awful things, it's no longer a secret. But, using the silly nicknames in what is supposed to be a serious discussion really drags it down.

It's quite possible they did this to save space on those 360KB 5.25s as well.
The worst was the AD&D games that required that goofy wheel.

I'm still running XP.
well, that's shitty.
Agreed.
There's still a CNC stuff out there that will only run on DOS 4. Basically the same situation as the radio story.
lol'd.
AOL and ICQ accounts have still been going for about the same length as Messenger has been around. Hell, my account from 1997 still works!
These computer recycling centers are making it hard to find any hardware now. :(

That's why what this guy is saying isn't making sense to me.
