It's a new MS OS they shovel, and ramrod down everyones throats, just like they always do. Thats reason enough. Having been riding on the OS train since MS DOS 3.1, i make it a rule to not "upgrade" OS until the box labels start saying its required.

Oh how I miss loading games in dos.


c:\
cd games\wolf3d
dir /w
wolf3d

I had no time for windows 3.1 and 3.11. Useless at the time imo.

LOL, then you know the drill. My machine booted to a dos prompt until Win95 came out and took root. Didn't have any choice then, as programs are developed entirely different and wont function without windows message mapping.

I remember those days...when I used to have a computer that ran 3.1, I used to work mostly in DOS and then type in "win" when I got stuck (granted, I was 7).

I don't hate it. I wouldn't run it on anything if that were the case. A more accurate statement would be that I am disappointed by it. Does that put it into perspective?

Microsoft cancelled that promotion for free software. Unless you beat the cutoff time of 2PM PST yesterday, you will not receive your software.

Long live Xp
 
I'll upgrade the moment windows xp is not supported anymore as in "this software will not install on xp" and no I don't care about directx 10-11 etc.
So it will be a good many years before this happens. :p
Xp sp 2 is just too stable (never had a bsod) to upgrade to uncharted territory just for the fun of it.
