Now your talking that WAS a proper computer. <g>.Mark Carter said:On the whole, I find XP fairly simple to install. I like the Classic view,
which not only cuts out the horrendous sugary look of the default
settings, but makes it run faster, too.
A few times over this year, I've had to configure XP machines for our
office. I dispair at the large amount of cr4p that's shoehorned into it -
like AOL, virus scanner, and how it likes to use Microsoft as an ISP when
you first configure it. On the box it says that you get a "free" virus
scanner. What they don't tell you is that it's time-limited. This makes my
life tedious, as it means that I then have to uninstall it.
Still, if you think XP is bad, I'm wondering what the nightmare that will
be Vista will be like.
It would be nice to see an OS that had the power of Linux with the
simplicity of Windows. Something like an Amiga OS, for example.
