I didn't say that XP is DOS-based, I said I like it better than the DOS-based Operating systems.

Actually, I said that XP is DOS-based.

Of course, that leaves open the argument for what it means to be "DOS-based".

Depending on how you define the term, you might be able to argue that NT is not DOS-based.

But I think that if you consider NT to be DOS-based, you must also consider XP to be DOS-based.

Personally, I think DOS was the best OS Microsoft ever wrote. It wasn't very advanced by any means of the word, but it worked fine and with much lower overhead.

In terms of security, Microsoft is certainly less securable than is Linux. In facr, wirh Linux, there are some add-on packages (which I've never actually tried) that can enhance security levels to extremely good levels.

But for the basic install, I don't really consider Windows or Linux secure enough to put on the web.

The struggles we had in the early aughts!

On another note, do Linux nerds still exist?

Yes, some probably moved to Macs for simplicity

Underrated post

I can't believe people thought there was any discussion between ME and XP. In that context, XP was far better. It was a decent OS for the time.

Oh noes, 8Gb of mp3s!

Is the Roman numeral on her arm 1888?

XP ended up being one of the better OSs. Solid 10 year run.

I'd like to listen to that 8 gigs of tunes.
