Windows Sucks
Refalm:
I've worked at a high school once, and the kids where complaining about how there work from home couldn't be opened at school.
All these kids got Microsoft Works free with their computer. It's non-compatible with Microsoft Office, and it only has a purpose if you print your stuff. The saving button seems to be there only for other Microsoft Works computers.
It wouldn't be that bad if there was a PDF feature (which OpenOffice.org does have).

You know what's infinitely worse than that? The unparalleled moron that inevitably says "I can't open this in Works on this computer," to which a teacher says "that's because we have Word and the two are mutually incompatible."

I don't think you people going to bolive that.
I have recantly visited a friend and I found out that her Windows 98 has been working now for 2 years whitout being reinstaled , and what is even more starnge it was works quite good. How is that possible?? I have to reinstole my Windows every 6 month , if I don't do that it just stops working properly and crashes all the time.

I have a 6-year-old install of Win95 that works, and I have cousins with a 5-year-old install of Windows 98.
Mine works because I know how to deal with it, but it's really slow. ZipSlack with Fluxbox fly on it
That other computer...I have no idea why it works. Either way, it's on its last leg. BSOD when I ran Scandisk. :rolleyes:
