Well it appears that Microsoft doesnt want to wait until Longhorn comes to force users to upgrade to something else. In early 2005, Microsoft will ship Windows XP Reloaded Edition (remember 98 Second Edition?).
My this is retarded. Theyre gonna ship this is 2005, and of course all the retarded people are gonna run out and buy/pirate it and of course buy new PCs with it preinstalled. Then one year later they're gonna be forced to do the same when Longhorn comes out. Idiots.

I didn't see anything about Bill Gates coming to your house and making you install it.
How are they forcing people to update?

Forced in a figure of speech. They aren't forced to do it, but they think they are.
Most people still have the idea that latest software equals better security.
That may be true sometimes, but it shouldn't be as extreme as going from 95 to 98 to ME to XP.

According to sources I contacted this morning, XP Reloaded will include all the features from XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), which is due by midyear, as well as a host of other unique features, including Windows Media Player (WMP) 10.
Bingo.
Also, Paul Thurrott, who wrote this article, is an asshat. Period.

No, it's just a word, like Windows is.

Yes I know, and it's not photoshop. Was done in MSPAINT on Windows NT 4.0

Will they call the next one "Revolutions" and have a shitty fight with flying around in it like the Matrix.
Reloaded was a pretty good sequel.
Revolutions was so shitty the entire cast should be in jail to serve the amount of time everyone wasted watching it.

It's not that great, even for MSPaint. (http://redface.gif)
What you need to do is change the fonts (anything but Times) and don't compress it so much. The message itself is OK, so do what I said and lets see how that turns out :D

It's not a question of their not wanting to wait. After all, Wrong... err... Longhorn has fallen way behind schedule. (Nothing new here: remember Windows 93? :rolleyes: ) So what are they going to do to keep the $$$$ rolling in?
I sense another Windows ME in the making. (http://tongue.gif)
I wonder how many dumb-@5535 will fall for this again?

Quoted for wrongery. XP Reloaded seems like a veiled attempt to start making the public pay the costs of "fixing" M$ fuckups. Would you pay $90 for a retail software package called "Windows XP Service Pack 2"?

It's being taken care of. Any troll posts will now be deleted to keep threads on topic, and trollish threads will be binned. I don't know when the last time you were here, but we've had a few good troll-free months!

LOL! So true. My Win2k got infected with 4 worms in the last 3 days.

It's about time - the 1st version sucks, what a disappointment it has been. The same thing happened with the 1st versions of Win95 and Win98, I would rather have waited for the 2nd version in all cases - Win98SE is the best OS Microsoft has developed to date. I hope MS has taken more time to eliminate such things as the idiot balloons, Messenger, and some of the Services that do nothing but get in the way. The boot time is dismal, and waiting for applications to open is tiring. Slow, slow, slow....

What is it with people who claim their Windows 9x OS is the best Windows ever made? I've run into people tons of people who have this mentality. When I ask them if they get constant BSODs, they reply along the lines of "well, it only crashes every other day". I also noticed they had SLOW bolded, and yet they still defend it. These people need to GET A BETTER OPERATING SYSTEM. If this is what these people consider quality, then they are truely ignorant. Even if they refuse to use a MAC, or get a non-ms operating system, they could at least buy XP Pro or get an XP Pro upgrade. At least when explorer.exe crashes every day in XP (everything from tooltips to clicking icons seems to cause a crash occasionally), it doesn't bring the whole OS down with it.

9x is fucked, security is just hitting escape at the password prompt and having full access to the machine :D

I really don't know if Win98 SE is/was the best OS M$ ever put out, but I sure as hell know that it was the LAST M$ OS I'll ever use. And I haven't used that for about a year or so now.
At least with the Win9x OS's you could still boot to DOS and get past some of the Windows nonsense and delete "protected" files like index.dat files and etc.
But like I said, that's all in the past now. My "main" computer is set up for dual boot; RedHat9 and Fedora Core 1.
