What do you expect? Just because MS have made XP doesn't mean to say they shouldn't develop another OS.Originally posted by balamm@30 May 2003 - 07:39
If it is as "rock solid and reliable" as some people claim, then why did they start a year after it's release to build a replacement for it?
Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

IIRC DOS never had Direct X... No DX.. No VC ...
I didn't say the dos version of vice city had decent graphics.
12 colour, 256 x 480, 7fps

they develope a new OS so that they can charge you full price for improvements over XP
if they call it say "Longhorn" then you have to pay say $200
If they call it an upgrade for XP they can only charge you $5o

With a 90%+ market share Micro$oft doesn't have to make a decent OS. Wait'll they start their software "leasing" program. You'll have to pay for your OS every year. Linux has it's drawbacks but it's FREE.
