Last Call for XP

LashStoat · 06-30-2008, 08:48 PM

Bear and I, after a month or so of giving Vista a go on his new laptop, voted with our feet.

At the expense of blowing away some of the (small) proprietary apps, we installed XP...the Acer Aspire 5720 laptop now tows the line, we can get stable drivers, and most importantly, we don't have to deal with the inherent paranoia that is Vista.

One day, it is my express wish that some company will develop an Operating Sytem that doesn't think it should be "center stage" at all times, and keeps out of our face so that we can actually be productive.

But it probably won't be a Microsoft product, or in my lifetime.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

They did... It was called O/S2 Warp.

(And talk about a cult.... Mac-Heads are nothing compared to O/S2 fanatics!)
