Windows XP

Back I am.
I see that the debate continues, and happily for me, it seems to have settled on a much more polite tone.
My opinion of XP has decreased in the last month, mainly because of M$'s attempts to make you pay more, restricting you from using certain features of the OS that were stated "available."
The MP3 issue with WiMP is inexcusable - buy a patch just to be able to encode MP3? And buy ANOTHER patch to encode at more than 56kpbs? NOW THAT IS MONOPOLY AND CONSUMER ASS-FUCKING!
Don't get me wrong, I still think XP is a "darn good try", but it's main fault is the "imperfections" it's "daddy" has put on it.
I'm currently trying to replace XP with Mandrake 8.1 and see how it works - maybe when Micro$hit shows a little bit more respect for the customer i'll give it another try.
Oh, by the way: anyone got comments on that iTunes issue? Damn, that was worthy of M$'s usual blunders. Glad they got it fixed before I downloaded it.

Bubaslubas, I am *proud* of you! *Daddy* is the real reason I hate MS so much. I was into MS for a while until I saw what was really going on and just plain made the leap of faith so as not to get caught up in the trap. I still do 4th level support for NT/2K, but I do not enjoy it. I refuse to touch XP just because of *daddy*.
I certainly hope you give Linux a real effort. It will be painful at first but I can almost bet if you stick with it and put in the effort you will like it. I'll do whatever I can to help, although I won't be of much help with Mandrake specific issues as I use RedHat primarily (underlying stuff is all the same and I'm more than familiar with anything there). Welcome aboard?
P.S. And I stopped calling you Bubbleass.

Thank you VoidMain. I have already required your assistance on the Linux forum... Hope you have the availability to help me.
No offense taken with the BubbleAss thing... It's an actually funny mock-up.
