As the the privacy issues, don't believe everything you read.

How stupid do you have to be to trust M$?

No one said anything about trusting Microsoft,

Idiot.

WOW! Is that the best you can do?
I knew Linuxfuxs where slow, but I did not think they where THAT slow!

Idiot.

but why should anyone trust
what is posted on the net? At least half of what is posted is pure
fiction.

When it comes to M$ doing immoral things, you don't even see half of
it.

You don't need a store. All you need is a good internet
connection.

We don't. However, we've noticed that this gives some of the
slightly wackier WinLoonies pause. Until some time back it
crashed IE (and, by extension, OE). It may still be crashing
IE for all I know.

Of course, most of the smarter individuals have now switched to
Forte, which is of course unaffected by either bug, as is SLRN,
Pan, Mozilla, and just about every other Linux newsreader as far
as I know.

Amusingly enough, I tried IE under wine when that bug first showed up,
it was unaffected by it. So if you must stick with MICROS~1 apps for
that, then I recommend you run Linux, and use them with Wine

Linux, because eventually, you grow up enough to be trusted with a fork()

I tried forte and didn't like it. I think I will stick with oe for the time beeing....

I'm going to have to work on a windows operating system for a while so i
need to purchase either win2k or winxp pro. I was wondering if you guys
would help me figure out which one is the better deal. Windows 2000 seems to
have better registration policy and is probably significantly lighter on
system resources than xp. XP on the other hand has smoother interface and
probably less hadrware issues. The price difference between the two is
negligible as far as i concerned. OEM versions on pricegrabber start from
$90 and $130.
I would probably just go for newer and better winxp but I am really
concerned about how it will handle my privacy as from all the things I've
read about it, it communicates alot with mssoft and exchanges alot of
information. Overall I guess I am leaning towards win2k as it seems to be
the best of what mssoft offers. What is your opinions on what i should do?

qnx!

It is your call, if you are goint to work with a lot of media files; audio,
video etc, them go XP. Security is the same on both versions(alwyas open)
Jajajajaja, but XP pro has a buil in firewall that will make things a little
bit more difficult to hackers. If you are in a corporate environment and
under a windows server, then go 2000, That's what I wuould do!!

GNU ( and linux) make you stupid!

Obviously not as stupid as running Windows where users know absolutely
nothing....including how not to crosspost to other newsgroups having
nothing to do with Windows. Where are the infamous microsoft.public
moderators who filter out anything crossposted? Oh yeah, they're
rebooting their machine and making tweaks to their systems that they don't
understand.

Running Windows is suicide.

Now get the hell off of comp.os.linux.advocacy.
