    Talking Windows XP

    WINDOWS XP IS THE COOLEST THING SINCE THE LOONY SPOTTING GAME! (especially with banner catcher and no netzero banner)

    I think from what I have seen that XP looks alot like Mac OSX they both look very alike in the navigation and buttons.

    Does XP do funky things when you open windows (not the program but normal windows to show documents etc?)... I was just wondering how good it was as it looks quite good.

    I got the final, it's quite a lot of a improvement from the second beta i had earlier, a lots of bugs are no more and some stuff that wasn't really implemented in the beta are functional

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    My copy does not stop me from doing anything, I have full function as far as I can tell..... Can't say I have seen any bugs....

    I went from 98 first edition to XP.... I had to DL a bunch of drivers....

    Well you might be missing some other non essential stuff like IIS 5 and COM+ Explorer.

    numtel got it from me...and I downloaded it using eDonkey2000!!! It is the coolest program, far better for getting big proggies than Morpheus, but some options aren't that great. I haven't been able to get Xp installed yet because I got the .ISO and my CD-RW is on the fritz.
