It ain't! That ain't me! It ain't so! And I'm pretty sure that
doppelganger will burn to a crisp of Vista-irradiation shortly! Or he'll
be sent into the spirit world with (Bicycle) Rob!

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
Should things get worse after this,

late!

I don't have binaries access so I can't check, but while the
Usenet still exists (not for much longer, mark my words - it may
not be for a few years, but they WILL take it away eventually),
I am quite certain you will be able to get XP (and DOS 2.00 if
you want, or anything else - Windows 7 too, if Vista wasn't
enough for you) anytime you want.

And there are (for better or worse) many web sites, not to
mention torrents etc. which provide largely the same content.

I read the thread, BTW. I love the polite and helpful replies
from the MVP. I just wonder why he didn't clarify that it was a
high-level MS corporate decision that translucent windows
(adjustable glistening, shimmering and other distortion effects
to be avail. with the 2 top-priced versions of Win7) were /much/
more important than a setting allowing you to choose which (if
any) email message will be opened and displayed on start-up when
you use a MS product/web site.

Reminds me of the "you are in a helicopter" joke.

Since I believe I haven't in /at least/ a year, may I again
mention NEVER being able to print a directory's (EXCUUUUUSE ME,
"FOLDER'S") contents in Windows? *NEVER*, **EVER**, apparently.

SIGH.

OTOH, WHY is ANYONE with brains using MS Hotmail and MS mail
programs, whatever they are now called? For me, Hotmail *ceased
to exist* when it went XP/Vista only (of course, my *accounts*
are and will remain permanent, AFAIK...). It's not like there
aren't quite a few other options.

Lots of theoretical butchers are alleged and other bloody eyes

You 98 guys are way too paranoid..it's an operating system. Nothing else.
Learn the oS and deal with it. 98 is what?... 12 years old now...?
That's about 256 yrs in computer years. ;-)
