Your Opinion Please: Shopping For A New OS
Hi, here's my problem, my main internet computer just died on me again, it's a hardware problem that is going to take a bit of time to fix (ie, enough time to let me put money away to buy a new mobo). In the mean time I have a (pair) of p3 computers in working order (that I just recently aquired and have yet to set up) that I can use as a temporary replacement. My only concern is that I would like to keep them up and running once I fix my main computer so I don't want to install the

I'm a fan of the Microsoft Corporation and I simply love their OS(s).The best thing about a Windows OS is:1. Its GUI - Windows are the best GUI I've seen, compared to MacOS & even Linux.2. Its compaitibility - 99% of the softwares on the planet are compaitible with Windows.Here's what my collection is about: (in latest order)Windows Vista (Beta)Windows XP (Home/Professional & Media Centre edition)Windows 2000 ProfessionalWindows MEWindows 98SE (Now that's ancient!)

Do you still remember the days when our free Hotmail and Yahoo mail inboxes were only a few megabytes? 2mb for hotmail and 4 mb for Yahoo! Mail?
