Yes, Yes I can't argue with that. Well at least I can tell you are not a
Windows user. They tend to become complacent with their system. Windows
users learn patience. They get used to using "Free" (Shareware) windows
software. They get used to popups, that IE6 doesn't block, crashes, that
bastard and behemoth of an email client Outlook, and load the bloated
Norton Anti-Virus program that takes over thier computer and slows it
down (remember NAV?). Not to mention a slower "Network Neighbourhood"
that scans directories for printers and other garbage and the 20%
reserve bandwidth for Microsoft spying feature.
But of course I dual boot Mandrake 10 with Windows XP. But XP only has a
place on my Maxtor 80GB for playing Battlefield Vietnam and Diablo 2
occasionally. Of course i don't have a choice when games are only made
for that platform.
Anyhow, enough of my ranting...
