Granted. But, if they were using Win95, most likely they don't use USB on that computer. Their next computer will come with USB and WinME or 2k.
Or Linux!
True that is becoming possible. Especially with companies like Dell offering it right alongside Win2k and WinME on their site. The main problem I see with that, is that Dell still doesn't offer it as an option on all systems - only certain models... but it is real progress.
True. Although, I have Word 2k configured to save in 97 format... (although I mainly work in WP format).
What the world needs is a good _open_ XML office documentation interchange format. To be quite honest, the reason I am not working on
True. Although I'd just be happy if KWord could import and export MS Word and Corel WordPerfect files. KWord looks like it could be a lot more promising than the aging WP8, but it needs filters to succeed.
problems at that level is because I find there are problems which exist between the kernel and the UI level that deserve (or demand) my attention. For example do an ls /usr/X11R6/bin and tell me what application owns what file in that listing. Talk about a c:\winnt\system32 from hell! How do we maintain such a mess? suppose I want to completely remove _everything_ from my X11 install and start fresh. How do I do this without also messing up all the other installs that have infested the X11 file tree? How can we fix this when so much already relies on the "broken" implementation?
I don't know. I must say this seems to me an area where Windows is several steps ahead of UNIX. While the Windows and System directories get messy, most software installs most of it's files into a unique directory in the Program Files folder. It's something that would be nice to see adopted by the file layout standards.
Win98SE cost $20 to upgrade to for 98 users, Me was simply $49.
I agree with you on this one. That is, assuming this is actually an *upgrade*. Why would anybody stay with 7 year old technology when it's easy to keep up with more recent innovations. Heck, I can't stand using last weeks technology.
<grin> Me either.
I have limited experience with 95, less than an hour with 98 and I don't know if I've even seen DOS/Windows ME. I have extensive experience
ME is bloated like Win2k and unstable like Win98 - it's definately a step down except in ease of use.
with NT from its first beta to W2K. NT 4.6 seems to work better for me than W2K-b2. The latter OS is just plain unstable as a desktop. The only reason I
It's definately better than the betas... it's actually very stable (I haven't had a complete system crash yet in about a month of usage). Apps still crash of course.
I will say the KDE 2.1 f*n' rocks! This thing is the Metallica of the Desktop! What is most impressive about it is the fact that these folks seem to have made a programming environment that allows for rapid
Can't wait to try it - I haven't had time to download the 2.1-beta's yet (I'm running 2.0.1 final)... -Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
