"Might", when it's a bad outcome, usually means Yes Jeevz, it will happen to you.

Maybe I'll do a dual boot.

Beautiful article Dart. Enjoyed every word.

You returned me to the days when I felt like I was master of my computer (autoexec.bat and config.sys? Yesssssssss!)

Now, the only time I get to show who is boss, is when it asks me to update the OS and gives me a choice between 'recommended' and 'optional' updates. Oh yeah, you can bet I don't always say yes to those optional updates. Who da man!!

And now I also have an iPad, which is even more emasculating.

Defrag? Waddat?

Clean up the hard drive? As if. LOOK at the hard drive? Not even. Peer into the registry? Delete temp files? Install dodgy software and spend hours getting the thing to even boot? Not allowed!

Click. On

Tap. Play

Click. Off

It's enough to make a real PC man cry.

Nice read. I thought I remembered all those hellish days, but you sparked a few thoughts I hadn't had in years. Not that the hellish days are gone mind you, I still have Vista. screwy

Ah yes, Windows ME.
I remember being the only person I knew who actually owned it.
People looked at me like I was crazy when they found out.
I also remember wasting hours trying to get it hooked up to a network for some LAN gaming.
Finally, an IT chap at work informed me that you had (strangely) to use NT network drivers, not 98 drivers as I had assumed.
Actually though, once you turned off all the crap, (eg system restore was extremely buggy), pretty much like you have to for XP etc, it was perfectly fine.

I remember being dragged kicking to switch to XP from SE.

And now you tell me that MS has made something newer! I am always the last to find out. Will have to check it out....next computer.
