Guess it's time to bar the door
As I've got several systems out there running these older OS's - guess mean ole MS hasn't gotten to the "Q's" yet???? Have yet to see one of those.

Nor have I seen these during several upgrade cycles at a couple other places of employment - nor did I when I worked for a VAR....

Anyone can say anything they want - but how about at least some facts to back it up?

And before I get flamed as an MS shill - sorry, I was doing Linux before it became a religion. Now that one must genuflect prior to booting the machine, I got out of it.....

(Plus, I like playing games NOW, not waiting for a port to maybe happen.....)
