pariah, all I can say is that you have alot to learn. Look, using windoze XP is like selling your soul to Bill Gates. He will monitor everything you do, charge you for it periodically, and sell your life away for money that he dosn't need. Win2K is the most stable OS for M$. You seem to think 98SE has better graphical capabilities? You probably just need to update your drivers. True there are some games that you will need windoze to play, but they are probably fewer than you think. For one, many games are coming out for Linux now days. Two, many that are only available through windoze are available for linux using wine, software designed to make windoze software run on linux. And these two points are getting stronger and stronger every day. I have probably wasted my time in writing this, as after reading your previous posts you strike me as someone who won't listen anyways and has already buried himself under a mountain of foolish and inaccurate assumptions. But we have to try.
