Computer software question?

Oh, and the reason that it has some vague, passing resemblence to something that , in a poor light, might sort of resemble a half way decent operating system, is because IBM wrote the kernal. As part of a joint venture between IBM and Microshaft to produce OS/3. Which broke up when IBM discovered that Microshaft were only using it to shaft them , but Microshaft still made off with the kernal code.

Microshaft have NEVER produced an inhouse OS kernal.

OS/3?

I like Vista.
Vista makes me money.

Vista out of the box was more stable than XP was.
Remember XP SP1?
At least Vista SP1 actually does something good.

Try telling any conventional company to release a critical piece of software that isn't backward compatible...

Vista SP1 HAD to do something good.

So you're saying David Cutler and his crew weren't employed by MS then?

ME is terrible.

Had to use it with my folks PC.

Most mp3 software today will need XP onwards I guess. but mainly u should only need the drivers so the PC sees the mp3 player as a removable flash drive.

Win2000 the worst OS they ever made. Get XP...dime a dozen for the disc.
Or get this http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/S...-194463226.htm perfect for you

Look how expensive it was.
You could buy my old PC for less than that

That'd be the perfect answer

ME was a sluggish bloated steaming pile of crap.
2K wasnt bad, XP is probably the best MS OS since DOS 6.22
If you give an old PC capable of running ME a RAM upgrade, and turn off the pretty graphics, XP will often run better on given hardware than ME did.

My 2 cents
