I'm tired of hearing Vista is the new ME (98 3rd edition?)

I forget who I read a day or two ago, but they described Me as 95 Fifth
Edition. I think that is probably a truly accurate way to look at 9x
history, i.e. taking the long view as allowed now that it's all so very,
very long ago! I type from 95 First Edition, which is finally running and
online in VPC 2007 sp1, on a 2.2 GHz Athlon! Though I expect a BSOD just as
soon as AVG has updated.

As someone who corruscates when things take a couple of seconds to initiate,
I can appreciate the end of the hardware being so powerful and the software
so well written that everything happens instantaneously henceforth, also
that Microsoft do have to evolve the concept in order to keep selling new
versions and thus remain in business (and they are not even as parasitic as
the Marxian notion that is undoubtedly true, that Capitalism requires
continually selling us that which we don't need, thus making us believe that
we do need it. Windows has transformed the world, is a significant
development of Human Evolution - unlike the throwback Sarah Palin - but I
wish to foch they'd taken whoever it was came up with UAC out and put them
up against a wall.
