When I read the headline, I thought this was an article about a guy who finally took the plunge and updated his Windows98 to XP.

I am still staying with W2000. MSFT has intimidated me out of using their newer releases with all the threats they made to take over my machine and eliminate programs and files they don’t care for or shut me down/ruin my box altogether by remote control. MSFT seems to have some megalomaniacal aspirations. MSFT said twice, when XP was released and now with Vista that if you have their OS in your box then MSFT owns your software (from any source) and your box, too. They did not seem to follow through with XP but I don’t trust them at all now. I do not do games so that is not a reason I might have to have XP or Vista.
