My Redhat & Windows xp
Hello, I am new to this forum and I have some comments to make and a question to ask. I want an honest answer though, not from your views of hate but honest answer.
I have a Redhat9 linux running on the pc I am sending the message from. The operating system is great, I just love it. I have all the software that I need in the world. Now, I have second PC that runs windows xp for nearly 2 years. During those 2 years I have formatted the PC around 1,00000,00000,000 times :-D well less but you get the point.
Why is my linux running and not getting slower? However my windows xp box that has been formatted 6 months ago. Without anything new added to it just seems to become slower and slower. I mean each month it seems to be getting worse. It now takes few minutes to just finish loading everything. The first program seems to stall a bit too. Before anyone says Microsoft sucks or so! I would like an explanation out of curiosity what is happeneing to the operating system ???? ( too of a good word to name Microsoft product break system is better) What is in the code that is disintegrates on its own?
You may ask, why don't you delete Windows and put linux on it? It is a compaq computer and would get messed up. Since it stores bios on a seprate partition called D drive. It would just not boot after linux install. Too risky to mess with the D drive. Also, My Mother is using that commputer. So I have no control over the pc. Btw, I have tried running Slackware USMSDOS on that PC and it runs fine once booted from floppy into dos. So it is not a "compaq trash" the pc uses AMD processor too. I see it has a potential to work normally!
Thanks for reading what I have wrote and waiting for an answer/thought.
