Windows Sucks
Refalm:
Welcome to our wonderful forum Mr. Bunny Face! I hope you switch from Windows on a short notice ;)
Intelligence is nothing, btw.

Yes, this would give the barn an authentic look.

It will give it that late early mid circa 18th century rustic feeling.

I was kinda hoping for Midnight blue. :D
EDIT: But then, I'm just vain like that.

What version of Windows do you use and why?
I use XP as it came with my computer, and Windows 2000 at work and prefer it.
I don't like Windows but I have no choice but to use it, I have failed to adopt Linux as it doesn't support my hardware well enough.
The main reasons why I dislike Windows are:
[*] Insecurity, you shouldn't have to run anti virus software, it should be part of the operating system.[*] It is very hard to customise, with Linux the user interface is infinitely configurable, you can even have a Windows desktop if you wish.[*] Bloat, I know this is an issue with some Linux distributions too, but with Linux you can recompile the kernel and remove anything you don't need.[*] Lack of choice, you can only buy XP or server 2003, with Linux you can choose between 100s of distributions, if one doesn't suit you, it's easy to switch to a different one.[*] Windows only runs on Pentium class processors.[*] Instability, this has improved a lot with Windows, but can still be a problem, Linux on the other hand providing you set it up correctly can be very stable.

To me Windows and Linux are just operating systems, I have no feelings towards them of either love or hate, to me a computer is just a means to an end, to get my work done. You should choose an operating system that enables you to use your system most efficiently. I prefer Linux because it has a better user interface, and it's stable and secure. I use Windows because it supports my printer/scanner, digital camera and 3D graphics accelerator. I might for security reasons disconnect my current system from the Internet and buy a second hand PC to run Linux on and connect to the net.
I think it's stupid to think of an operating system as a religion, to me religion is a retarded idea in general, all those wars and lives lost in the name of a

I don't use Wincrap, either! That was the last version I used also.
