    Windows Upgrade

    Today I had one upgrade as was waiting for my response. I clicked yes and new windows opened where I could agree or not agree. The upgrade file was a tool for verifying my OS was legal.

    You as have copies say NO but of course if you have one or more legal OS you know what you will do.
    I had nothing to hide why I accepted the file.

    Windows Update

    Today I got a patch as I installed. It requires a restart of the OS.

    To you as run D2OL: before you cloise the node run all 20 steps and then shout it down. If you chout the node down say when you have finished step 10 you lose these because there isn´t any check point menanig you must begin from scratch again.

    You can still buy Windows 95 if you want it.

    I still have a factory copy of NT 4.0 sitting around....
    Logic is the art of being wrong with confidence.

    While I wouldn't be interested in buying win95 again, W2K I do like for crunching. XP seems okay too, but I have had no experience with Vista. Can you gut visa down to cut out some of the behind the scenes stuff? Does it perform comparably to W2K/XP as regards to crunching? I guess it's getting to the point that there really isn't much choice in the matter.

    Then also there was a project underway to do a "clean" rewrite of NT. Can't remember the name of it offhand, but anyway I haven't heard anything more of it lately. Did MS shut it down, or is it still alive, or ???

    I'd stay away from vi$ta, it has far too many issues (plus it demands greater hardware). XP will be supported until 2015 I think. By then vi$ta should be stable.

    I think I'm gonna cry for happiness anyway, if XP is supported until 2015 then I'll be okay. I'll bet that vista will continue to be the dog cause MS will be working on the next follow-up and their interest in it will wane.

    ???

    I know with the hardware technology advancing at a pretty steady rate there is going to be software that will take full advantage of it like "Vista" but you'd think some-1 a lot smarter then myself would create a OS that would let your hardware slip-stream onto another level... Just a thought...
