OK.

At home I have Win98, it does fine... but... I don't want to be left too far behind.

Is there anything about WinXP that justifies an upgrade from a perfectly good machine?

Turbonutter, if you tell me to install Linux, why, I'll.. I'll explode dammit!

One example for you. I applied for the Beta 2 pack of Visual Studio.NET from M$, and 5 CDs duly arrived in a weird cartoony sort of pack. Anyway, I can't use them on Win98 - it has to be ME, 2000 or XP (oh and probably NT too, but I can't remember). Maybe this is just M$ being deliberately awkward in their install routines, though.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll hold off on XP for a while.

Though Turbonutter does have a point about "newbies" though.

Whilst I am a newbie at this particular forum, I hope you can all tell that I am a pretty seasoned forum veteran. I frequent other boards, sometimes with different names, and it is true that occasionally, good forums get overrun by mental newbies. I like reading FOG, but there is also a lot of idiocy in there also.

I came to this forum because the Edge forum just went crazy with newbies, all talking rubbish.

That has got to be MS just being money-grabbing.

I used to have loads of forums (I used to frequent 4 here). Some of them were shut down (F2S) and some were destroyed by newbies.

Because the FOG is full of spamming newbies, illiterate newbies, idiotic newbies, incoherent newbies, unintelligent newbies, and newbies.
