The problem with both winXP and WinME is that they are both HYPE!! All either of them are in Win98 with more multimedia applications. They dont add anything extremely usefull or new. Both also have certain undesirable things hardwired to the O.S.. One of thoes things is MS mesenger. With 98 and 2k you get to download and install it. With XP and ME it comes as part of the O.S.. You cant delete it OR disable it. It is like a virus that keeps comeing back again and again. Then there is the spyware built into XP. My friend had his WinXP quit working because he lent it to his roommate to install on another computer. Apparently Microsoft logs the CD key of every version of XP. If the same CD key is updated with Microsoft update from 2 diffrent computers then Microsoft automaticaly deactivates ANY versions of XP useing the same CD key number. According to the e-mail my friend got from Microsoft it is illegal to put any version of Windows on more than one comp. You have to have a seperate version of your O.S. for every computer in the house. Well , I guess that my [img]graemlins/2cents.gif[/img] for now.
