Amen, My experience is much the same. Win95 SR1 was crashing on me at least once every 15 minutes. I then upgraded to 98 RC 2, and crashed maybe once an hour. After further upgrading to RC 3, the machine ran better than it ever had for almost 9 months. At that point i was installing a new HD and doing general cleanup and decided "hey, while i'm at it i'll just put 98 full ver on" Big mistake: 80% of the time the machine doesn't boot properly. 3/4 of the time i get at least 2 blue screens, even on a simple restart. every time this happens i have to reset, boot into safe mode, _then_ restart, at which point normal mode comes up fine. But it works great after that! And people wonder why i leave the damn thing on all the time.
RC 3 was/is far more stable than the final ver in my opinion.
And if you believe that was a genuine Microsoft post, I have a bridge in brooklyn i can sell ya cheap.
All posts from microsoft are titled as the mcrosotf W2K team and there city, state and country are clearly listed under the message. This message has no city, state or country. And why, after initially presenting themselves as a team, would they give you a specific email address to send problems to. ESPECIALLY after giving the specific email to send problems to in several places throughout the site? jsmith? yeesh at least try to be original in comnig up with an email address next time.
Gee, can i have a job where i make decisions that go completely against what my organization has previously stated and they believe it, and actually go with it?
So we're basically back at square one for this MP3 thing now aren't we. RIAA: " MP3's are illegal! ban them, ergh~ argh!"
RIAA: " but you can still pay money for things that will play them and you can still play them, even the ones we just said were illegal"
