I must agree that the pro-XP messages all seem to be MS apologists. Personally,
my favorite MicroSoft product to date was MSDos 3.1, but I finally settled into Win98.
After cleaning all the crap out and getting the OS part down to 471Meg, I've found
it to be solid as a rock. I tried WINME and thought it sucked (including the massive
new media player - talk about getting the kitchen sink!), so I'm back to WIN98.
The problem becomes one of getting programs that will work with older operating systems
as MS pushes developers to gear their efforts to Bill's latest attempt to make last
month's OS this month's dinosaur. I wish I could just buy the OS and choose what
I want to hang on it.
