My windows box runs win95. This self righteous presumption is bad enough there, but struck me as being more and more prevalent in later windows versions, thus my reason for not upgrading. Now that I use linux 95% of the time, I don't miss it a bit. This single aspect of microsoft's operations shits me more than probably any other. This along with their rediculous market share gives them the power to do whatever they happen to think is a good idea, and the average computer user just wears it. That's just so wrong. Geoff.
