Microsoft is crap, crap and more crap!

Hello Stanislav! 19 Nov 01 20:59, Stanislav Udin -> Roman Alexandrov: RA>> Subject! Photoshop does not work under XP. Bad compatibility mode RA>> does not solve anything. SU> Damn, what are you missing in 98SE? I don’t know about y whom, but y SU> all of me SU> works stably, does not slow down, does not hang up, takes much less SU> space, requires less resources, there are drivers for any device and SU> etc. etc. What do Win2K and WinXP have that Win98SE doesn’t? 1) W2k is much more stable and reliable than 98. 2) With the modern volume of screws, the size of the OS does not matter. 3) W2k does not slow down. At least not enough to talk about it. By the way, according to ZDNet estimates, programs under W2k and XP work faster than under 98. what percentage - needs to be clarified. 4) Of course, W2k requires more memory than 98, but again with modern its prices and volumes do not matter. 5) W2k has drivers for all devices, especially new ones. 6) W2k has NTFS.

Hello Iliya! 21 Nov 01 23:31, Iliya Chegleyev -> Roman Alexandrov: SU>>> Damn, what are you missing in 98SE? RA>> Reliability, stability, security and RA>> multi-user RA> RA>> mode (XP) IC> Damn, I'm using 98 SR1(!) There are no glitches at all! Well, although I'm not into toys IC> especially... You launch 5 explorers, Outlook Express, PowerDesk, ICQ. dialer Socrat97, WinAmp. mIRC. Write the disc in Nero, pack MP3. RAR something big, press it, Launch MathCad, Photoshop. Word, check something with AVP and most importantly run it ReGet with 50 downloads in queue. :) All this without rebooting and preferably to remain in memory at the same time. Such I had a situation several times when I had to keep all these programs simultaneously in memory. Let's see if it works for at least an hour. :) SU>>> takes up much less space RA>> On my 60GB it doesn’t matter IC> Hmm, what's the difference? After all, not everyone has such screws, but for example IC>2000 and IC> millennium has the ability to grow to unprecedented sizes, IC>me IC> millennium reached e.g. up to 1.5 GB, I don’t know how it is with linoleum, but don’t worry about 2000. Why doesn't she grows to 1.5 gigs. The only thing is that after installing Service Pack 2, a folder of 200 meters is created with its contents, but firstly it can be deleted, as far as I know, and secondly compress on NTFS - will take 140MB. You can also remove DLLHELL and driver.cab, which in total take up 300 meters (at FAT), but this will lead to you know what. RA>> On my 1330Hz processor and 384 megabytes of DDR brains RA>> no noticeable difference IC> Hmm... Well, I seriously doubt that even on your computer IC> 200o (let's say it) will load in 8 seconds. Or am I wrong? 2000 loads faster than 98 on any computer. :) Best regards, George

If you haven't noticed that 2000 is much more stable than 98, then there are several options: 1) You have crooked iron. 2) You have crooked hands. 3) You are not loading the OS hard enough. 4) You did not install SP2.

Hello Igor! 28 Nov 01 06:02, Igor Majorov -> George Valnin: RA>>> Microsax claims that 2000 and XP load faster than RA>>> 98th, in RA>>> in the case of XP, I am inclined to believe them.

And I listed these applications in one of my letters. I can say it again: For internet: 1) Dialer 2) NetMedic 3)AtGuard 4) Outlook Express 5) ICQ 6) IE5 (from 1 to 5 or more pieces) 7) FlashGet (ReGet) 8) mIRC Rest: 1) WinAmp 2) Power Desk This is usually loaded for me when I'm surfing the internet. But there are often situations when you also need to work in: 1) Word 2) MathCad 3) Nero 4) PhotoShop 5) AVP (check downloaded archives and programs) 6) Acrobat Reader (view downloaded PDFs) 7) Excel (calculations and viewing downloaded prices) 8) Socrat 97 (translation :) ) 9) Aditor (watch downloaded texts or those on the HDD) 10) WinRar (unpack downloaded archives, for example, abstracts) 11) ACDSee Total: 10 only for the Internet plus up to 11 pieces for parallel activities. Total: 21 pieces. Windows 98 crashed quite quickly only during the first 10 programs, I’m already silent about the situation when using the latest 11 applications. The 2000 doesn't even glitch. Any questions? :) Best regards, George
