Greetings From Windows XP

Well, the "Recovery Disk" that came with my HP Pavilion was garbage -- big surprise there -- so I went to Best Buy and got a copy of Windows XP. After a bit of fighting with it to convince it that yes, I did have a hard drive, it is now installed and seems to be running happily ... if a bit on the pokey side.

The true test will come when I fire up Photoshop ... later.

But for now, I exist! Yay. :)

Win98? Don't tell me you upgrade from Win98 to XP!

And I got a few copies of both too....

I'm with Spiked on this one. 98 is much less of a resource hog and much more, ah, adjustable than XP ever will be.

But Neko's crazy idea that a Mac is better than a PC is just silly. Number one, the file system on a Macintosh OS of any level wastes waaaay too much space...
