eeewwwwww.........
You said all the things I *really* wanted to say.... : )
Actually - I don't read those PC-trash mags. Useless in my opinion. They
all say the same thing - "Everyone needs to go out and buy the very latest
from xxxxxx".
I stopped reading PC Mags when Compute! stopped putting program listings in
them......
You are excused from my general classification of "we". You gave a good
enough reason.
W2K does have a decent game of pinball..... I play it while my Linux box
does the stuff I don't trust Windows to do..... : )

Many thanks for this tagline to a fellow RGVAC'er...
The only problem is, we're using an operating
system made for a single
user
and a modest number of processes, and we've
allowed Mickeysoft to turn it
into a pseudo multi-user "enterprise" server platform.
Hey, all of M$ is annoying, but at least Micro$oft gives us a few
laughs in a perverse sort of way...
I've been using W2K for a little while now
for my development platform,
and
Why? When did you first become aware of having a masochistic tendency
to crave being abused by sadistic computer software? If only someone
had found those copies of PC-World magazines hidden under your
mattress in time to help you... ;-)
it still sucks compared to WinNT 4. It's sad
that as the computing
Which, like all of the other OS wannabees from M$, sucks when compared
to UNIX, VMS, AOS/VS, MVS, MPE-IV, Accent, POS, and even CP/M. M$-DOS
may have it's limited uses when it's windowing interface isn't
attached; however, thinking of that as a useful OS is hypothetically
able to induce usefulOSophobia in some people predisposed to various
disorders preventing them from differentiating useful operating
systems from computer viruses pretending to be useful operating
systems.
community, we've allowed Mickeysoft to peddle
this desktop "operating
system" as a server platform.
Please don't included me in that "we've," since I don't use those
viruses from Micro$oft.
These are just my opinions, YMMV. For the small
market I deal with, and
the
situations that my software is called upon, MS is
an absolutely stupid
choice for a server.
Isn't M$ an insipid choice for anything, except for inspiring dark
humor? :-)
