As as SysAdmin, I've seen nothing come out of Redmond that justifies upgrading from Windows 98. In my opinion, that was their peak.

Every time you buy a new computer, with its new, faster hardware, you "upgrade" the Windows OS, and never see any real gain as a result of the "bloatware" and freaking Easter Eggs.

And as a SysAdmin, I didn't appreciate it that Bill chose to make the job of configuring Windoze systems 20 times harder by hiding all those nasty settings from the clueless users. As a SysAdmin, I want to have easy access to all settings, and I've no intention of learning how Bill wants it done "this time" over and over and over again.

I've given up on Windows. I started running SuSE Linux on the desktop, and to HELL with Bill, his upgrade$, and the Viruses that should truly be called "Windows Viruses" if you were going to be honest about it.

My 2 one-hundredths of a dollar,
