LOL!

Where’s
Buckhorn?

I’ll keep using XP until it crashes.. again.

Vista is a slow motion train wreck, I don’t see how they have much choice.

[Signalman]

I’m still using XP (SP2). I’ll go with the OS after Vista. No need for Vista here.

Note that I included the subject under Humor. Appears XP will be extended until MS comes out with another OS replacing Vista.

I've still got several machines running Windows 2000. I can't find any reason to get rid of them especially considering they work fine with Win2K but are too slow for WinXP and I have quite a few legacy devices for which there is no support in Vista.

Maybe Bill Gates needs to steal another operating system and release it under Microsoft’s name (only this time, he ought to steal one that actually works).

[VictoryGal]

It is a joke how they are pouring all this money into the Vista rebranding effort (Mojave). Hey, Bill Gates, haven’t you heard that you can’t polish a turd?

[CodeToad]

“Maybe Bill Gates needs to steal another operating system “

BS.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

I’ve had very good success with XP. Never had a crash going back to the original developer copy I used prior to the official release of XP.

(grin!) me too. After XP finishes, I will bite the bullet and go with Linux.

Unix is a REAL operating system, Windows is only a file loader.

Oh, sorry, he did pay $50,000 for it, didn’t he? It’s not his fault that his partner was a moron...

Ping!

Personally, I'm waiting for the OS/2 crowd to show up.

[weegee]

Didn't they just release a new Service Pack? Cumulative fixes, etc?

[null and void]

It's dry humor...

I'm still waiting for something better than CP/M...

“Mojave” may not be the greatest name for an operating system! They were slightly post stone age indians and didn’t even have the wheel until the “white man” arrived!
