Redfaced
I have to get this off my chest. For a long time, like forever, I've been anti-windows. I hate Microsoft and their OS. It was nothing but bullshit for the last ten years. Unfortunately, I've been forced to learn it and use it at work, and as such, I've become pretty much a pro at using it and getting the most out of it. Well, I've been using Win2K Pro on my laptop for the last two years, and for the most part it's OK. I recently upgraded two different computers (at home for other people) to WinXP, and the process was so painless that I had to try it myself. So I took the liberty of installing WinXP on my laptop at work, and within about an hour and a half, the system was completely new and upgraded and everything worked! It all worked the first time! I mean, all of my system settings were maintained from my desktop picture to the office network settings. The installation was flawless. And I have to give thanks to the engineers in Redmond for making this process painless. I'm not gushing, well, maybe a little. And don't get me wrong. I'm not going Windows. I could never give up my Macs, especially with Panther coming along soon. I just wanted to say that I am an open-minded person, I am, I am, I am!
And that's all.
