You think Windows sucks, try using Lotus Notes as your email client. That really really sucks!

Why do people blame Windows? If they had half a brain, they would learn how to protect against viruses, browser hijackers and spyware. Most people don't even update their files, so they get what they deserve. They also don't know about alternatives to Windows, Internet Explorer or Outlook/Outlook Express because they are lazy.

Second mistake was in trying to load Yahoo SBC software. No need for it when using XP.

We are stuck with Windows OS because accountants do not press for Peachtree and some others, to be on the Mac and Linux.

I love XP. Never had a virus spyware or malware(86 IE and use Firefox)or any problems for that matter. Much better architecture than Win98. JMO

Despite the EULA that is built like a fortress and Corporate practices that make Genghis Khan look like a choirboy, Microsoft is fast nearing the end of the time when they can foist obviously flawed and architecturally creaky software on a captive market (As this article evidences).
In a just world, Microsoft would have had their A$$es sued of and been required to move aside and let innovation and competition exist. In the 'Real World' they have taken their initial advantage and turned it into a Dictatorship of the Marketplace. Fortunately, the dike is springing a few leaks and MS may not have enough fingers to plug them all.

I'm still running a 2000 Dell PIII w/Win98, I run Norton AV plus the Norton (formerly AT Guard) firewall, and I run several anti-spyware programs on a regular basis. I dropped Internet Exploder and I'm generally happy with Firefox.
It sounds like whoever the 'SO' is, hooked up to DSL without a firewall which is like driving through Harlem at midnight waving a wad of bills around.

SO IS a woman?? There go all the gay Mark Morford jokes! Don't be so hasty...just because Mark calls her a "she" doesn't mean she has "she" parts.
He may still be correct in every sense other than the biological one, however.
