Hey, I never really said I didn't like Windows XP, I'm just saying that I prefer Win98 and Win2000 better. The only thing I was complaining about is this new "Longhorn" OS M$ is trying too spit out. I always here the argument that you need too go along with M$ with its product updates because the older OS's will become obsolete and everyone else is using new OS's, so basically you are forced too follow the leader.
But the bad thing about this new OS "Longhorn" (more like Mad-cow) is that the entire OS is going too run through DirectX which mean that all the little fancy windows and applications will run through DirectX. Which means that new Computer systems are going too have too rely on hefty video cards that take up a lot of power compared too PC's today. I've heard a "Longhorn" system could consume over twice the power this way and for buisnesses that is bad news. Why do you think buisnesses love Durons and Celerons, because they run at low power and do not require a hefty graphics card too run an OS or games with. All I can say is if M$ is forcing this new OS onto people too sell their product and force more powerful PCs, they better make the PCs more energy effeicent because buisnesses just can't afford too take it in the @ss in power consumption.
I'm sorry, but XP is going too be the Last M$ OS I'm going too used. I'm very curious about this new OS "Linspire" and if it can run most of my older Win98 games on it, I will be happy.
