Just maybe their new version (internet XP) could be considered a Service Patch for some of the really lousey versions they paid handsomely for in the past, IMHO.
What exactly are you trying to say[grin].
OSs' I've paid for: 95/98/98SE/ME(biggest joke of them all), they all became flaky requiring reboots. Looked seriously at 2000 but gaming weighs in pretty heavy in my decision. XP is without a doubt the most stable
and game friendly OS that I've used and well worth the OEM price IMHO.
The single reason I haven't paid for XP is activation, and the ability that M$ could refuse to activate for whatever reason. Blue List complicates this by generating keys, a key anyone could buy retail/OEM that's already been activated, or down the road has too many instances running. They can lock you out of software you paid them for.
People who snidely reply "then don't use their software", don't live in reality. There really isn't any viable alternatives to Windows for the masses at this time, including me.
If I could buy corp for OEM price without terms limits, I'd buy in a heartbeat.
