    Haha, loving it. :D

    I've found XP to be far more reliable than 98.

    I see it didn't stop them in the end eh? :rolleyes:

    Good clip though, it's like that one where the guy who invented the ctrl+alt+del combo said to him "I may have invented it, but Bills the one who made it famous" :D

    I miss the days of DOS! It really felt like you were using the computer properly when you had to type in all of the commands. None of this pagan mouse malarky!

    Basically, Windows 98 crashed! :D

    It was quite funny! :)

    And dare I say it, Windows 2000 Pro was the best!

    I dunno, Win XP professional is working perfectly well for me, and personally once you have started down the XP path, forever will it dominate your OS decision making. I tried going from XP Home to Win 2K Pro but it just lacked that va va voom. so I upgraded to XP professional and the way I see it; you get all the glitz and glamour of XP and the reliability of 2k
