So what!, you can use XP as long as you want to. You don't HAVE to get
Vista. It's a myth that we have to keep up with the latest hardware and
software. If your system is producing satsfactory results, why change???
You could be using 98SE and the same thing applies.
So your choice is simple, keep XP or get a real operating system !!

The whole point is that people who build PCs don't want XP to go away.

The manual said to install Windows Vista or better...
So I installed Debian.

To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Window$
box, you just need to work on it.


I have a few friends who went to Linux a while back when they built new
PC's. They all went back to XP after a while. Too many hassles to do
stuff they wanted to do. I've dealt with a few clients at work running
Linux, and sometimes the simplest thing is a pain in the ass to
accomplish. Finding a solution IS slightly easier than using Microsoft's
so called help, so that's a plus for it.

BS !

- why does Linux install with RECOVER MODE



He didn't say it doesn't happen. He only said that it's more
difficult than Windows, which collapses with very little provocation.

Nothing beats Windows for GAMING.



Apparently. Appropriate for a play O/S.

I have nothing personally against Linux builds... but they're totally
useless to me. There is no software for my webstation that will run on it,
nor are there versions of much of the other software I have and use
constantly. Aside from that, as was brought up before, the simplest thing
to do in XP is a major PITA in Linux, unless you are practically a
command-level user: Installing new software. I have tried at least 8
different iterations of Linux, and each of them has been a major headache,
telling me things like "you need this file in order to install this other
file" or simple networking that refuses to see anything else on our LAN
(though it does pop right up onto the web... )

Your statement is eradicative since there is nothing that is more
demanding on a computer's resources than todays games.

(ack!!..my last post was screwed)

Your post is very dishonest and deceptive, since gaming is the most
demanding thing you can do to a computer.

Videogame systems do at this point and time. They have more genres in
a larger number of software. You have massive multiplayer and
strategy games on the PC, but beyond that, is slim pickings.

I know what you mean. Windows never crashes on me like many Linux
users claim it does. I tried several flavour's of Linux, the latest
being Kubuntu 8.04. There was just no value to it. It was less stable
than Windows XP. It was slower than Windows XP.

When you get right down to it, the only real problem with Windows is
that it's too popular. Like the Dead Kennedy's said, "The dumbest buy
the mostest". Lots of clueless people who make things difficult for
themselves then blame the OS. Also, many application providers write
some pretty crappy code, trying to cash in on Windows popularity.
