Install XP.

421555 2006-01-16 21:49:00 I've been using Microsoft products professionally since DOS 1 . 0 . One things I've learned: avoid Microsoft beta operating systems, unless one of the following applies:

* you're being paid for the aggravation
* you have no social life, and nothing good's on TV .

I know this seems harsh, but why do Microsoft's work for them?

If Microsoft's *pays* you to test their programs, and identify the bugs, then more power to 'em .

If Microsoft wants you to find and report bugs for free, then @*#@ 'em .

They are truly a immoral corporation, who has taken over most of the software business . Is this truly a company you want to help further dominate the market?
