I don't distaste Windows. I've been using Micro$oft's products since DOS
1.0 was released on 8086 hardware! I'm using WinXPSP3 typing this message
because it's convenient and familiar with Xnews, a very old usenet client.

I'm sorry you got that impression that my post placing the 1GB limit on
Micro$oft was simply reporting all the thousands of articles written on the
subject.

One of my friends wants to install Win7 on his box. I've asked him to wait
until 2010 for SP2 or 3 until a significant number of major bugs users find
are ironed out. He failed to listen and upgraded to Vista 1.0 on day one,
paying dearly for his transgression.....(c;]

I missed several horrible "upgrades" like ME, Vista, some NT flavors here.
I've never been much of a "retail beta tester" for any software.....

WinXPSP3 is a very stable product. I just wish its company wasn't so hell
bent on destroying it.
