Someone needs some several optimizations in their XP.

LOL. Isn't that the truth. :p

Ask yourself THIS: Does Windows 98 still do what it's supposed to do?

Well... a lot of companies are leaving Windows 9x support behind, as it doesn't support a lot of the new technology. What's sad (from a developer's perspective) is that since Microsoft is deathly afraid of people checking out and possibly cloning their operating systems, it looks like the 9x line might be lost forever.

There's no real need to upgrade; Just for security reasons, of course, but that can be done in SERVICE PACKS/software updates. Why is Microsoft bothering to make new software, when the previous one works just fine with the times?

I noticed that when I switched to a free system. Suddenly, there are no "go out and buy this CD to upgrade your system" warnings going out; instead, if I want to upgrade my stuff, I just point the updating program at the right repositories. A far different view from the cash-central OS lines...

Indeed, one of the more charitable things that can be said about Vista's interface (not even getting into their DRM)
