Well, why not? To be honest, I've been really happy with the stability of my Win2k install. If MS improves stuff like memory management, it ought to become a damn fine OS. Of course, you can whine about DRM (I'm whining with you about this) and proprietary protocol (extensions). > It's like watching somebody involved in a bad marriage: I'll just stick > by him/her, they're bound to change.

If you compare WinME to WinMX, see the fact that MS plans to include an actually useful firewall and disable several services (and of course you'll have to avoid IE and OE), the bottomline is a lot of good for the customer. The customer won't have any money left, but (s)he'll be happy. Happy flaming :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
