Privacy groups fight to delay Windows XP

[.blah]

why the hell do they want to stop the best windows ever? **** it, leave ms do their job and keep politics out.

For info as to why they are up in arms about XP check out www.grc.com. Microsoft's typical lack of security concerns is the main beef. As many times as I have had to download security patches for 95 98 and Me I'd swear all three are still in beta testing! Go Code RED!!!

stuff the privacy ****. What about the steady downward spiral of functionality? Every release of winblows since 3.1 has meant less under-bonnet customization. that means less originality, greater chance of software problems, and a more vulnerable operating system. something microshaft have been touting as a strong point. Notice the utter lack of dos support in winblowsME? that's because it's a way to circumvent the work of microshaft, and destroy winblows before it starts. no real advantage is gained here, except that the end user is frustrated at having no conventional memory and must purchase extra software (which may not work) to be able to use their old games on their new pc.

"We are Microsoft. Resistance is futile."

not with this little black duck it ain't.
