| 273897 | 2004-09-20 14:35:00 | Went to the MS site today to check my OEM version of win2k (with parts purchase) but it can't scan a win2k machine and didn't like Firefox. How serious are they! Cheers Murray P |

| 273898 | 2004-09-20 20:42:00 | Murray, They are lineing up for "longhorn" . This is probably the first incling of the dropping/decreasing of support for 2k (Probably the best GUIi O/s they ever produced) . There will probably be another round of we will no longer support win98 to test the waters, or a subtlle droping of (The Minimal remaining) support for that product in the "Longhorn release period" . Also Murray , How DARE you to firefox to M/S, especially if you expect any sense, it would probably be wise to do a full malware scan after that "act" . D . |

| 273899 | 2004-09-21 01:24:00 | :^O :^O :^O I live in (fools) hope . Yeah, I quiet like 2k, I've been messing around with system files and boot loaders, etc, and except for one (heart thumping) instance it has taken all the abuse . It's relatively uncluttered and down to earth . Yes, I also got the strong impression they are testing the waters for more than they let on they are testing the waters for ;) . If you want to be a conspiracy theorist and be right most of the time, have a crack at MS It'll be true sooner or later no matter how outrageous it seems :D Cheers Murray P |

| 273900 | 2004-09-21 01:53:00 | Murray, M/S line themselves up for it, look at all the Gmail delays, and all the Gmail regos Ect that end up in Hotmail spam days later. 2k is probably close to what O/s 2 would have ended up as. Personally I see XP as a: Bloated, Pretied up, Dumded down, version of 2k, that allows more M/S control. What Longhorn brings will be interesting. To halt my move to Linux it will have to be "The best thing since sliced bread" Very literally. D. |

Hmm, don't frequent Hotmail, thank goodness. > 2k is probably close to what O/s 2 would have ended > up as. NT was actually based on O/s 2 code. IBM *cough* let MS take it with them when the left the *cough, hack, eerk!* cooperative collaboration with IBM on O/s 2. Roll over and do it again.... > Personally I see XP as a: Bloated, Pretied up, Dumded > down, version of 2k, that allows more M/S control. Yeah! but 2k fanboys will never convince XP users of this. > What Longhorn brings will be interesting. Only from a forensic point of view ;) > To halt my move to Linux it will have to be "The best > thing since sliced bread" Very literally. Guess you will be moving on then, eh! :D Cheers Murray P |
