Ok, yall, but all of this aside - we come back to the basic question which might
be "Why upgrade" or even "What would I get IF I do upgrade?". This question is the
one I had coming into this thread - and I must say that I find precious little -
if any - reason to upgrade my IWILL/AMD1800/512Meg from 2000 to XP. Knowing that
an OS might have one or two items of note might be neat to some twerp in an arcane
location, but I want
---> Faster boot times
---> Better security
---> Decent handling of older apps (Legacy modes?)
---> Improved updates / rollbacks.
---> More intuitive interface design.
I do not need....
--->Bloat
--->Steep learning curve for basic operation. (It's an OS fer gosh sakes!)
--->Utilities that I do not need.
--->Stuff I normally do not use. However...
...do NOT turn off stuff just because you think I might not use it - GIVE me the
chance to review the selections...
Which boils down to: yes or no. Do or die. And now, for lack of a clear reason to
part with 85~125 USD, I see that - no Virginia, there is NO compelling reason to
upgrade. Really, if it were not for games - I would be running Linux at home too...(Red
Hat, SUSE, heck - who cares!)
