Used 98 for a very long time and never ever switched to 2000. However, I'm now at last using a laptop with XP on it. It has DosBox installed to handle some old games and Firefox as browser.
I found the switch to XP on a HP laptop very unpleasant. Spent most of the first few days trying to stop some combination of Microsoft, HP's own software and the pre-installed virus software from interfering with me, spying on me, reporting to their own websites, using bandwidth when I hadn't authorized it or expected it, popping up windows when I didn't want them, and so on.
Computing of the sheep by the sheep for the sheep. Horrible.

This really is a very incomplete poll - I doubt anyone is going to complain about the absence of OS/2, but OS X and Linux are fairly widely used. Add to that the way in which many Linux users have a visceral hate of Windows, and it verges on insulting.
But I don't think Portman7 cares - it seems to be a spam account. Look at the profile Web site and the obviously fake ICQ ID.

No, it's still discrimination.Racetyme wrote:West, the point of a poll is to represent the major systems. He covered it fairly well. He has 70% of the population represented, which is respectable.
If you didn't allow 30% of a state's population to vote because they were an ethinic minority, you wouldn't be able to say 'oh, it's ok, 70% of our population can vote'...
Whoever you vote for.
The government wins.
