You won't be arrested, if you DON'T-- BUT have a second tinfoil hat
available, now, for Vista threads!


I sincerely hope that albatross Vista fails to "make it", but I expect my
hopes are for naught. I woulda preferred if it stopped at XP. That's
far enough! (But I'm still happy with W98SE, thank you very much).

In Europe, after cosiderable legal action which Microsoft lost, in XP it is
not compulsory to install WMP.
Will the same opt out be available with Vista.
I live in au but it is not too difficult to get British versions of
software.

Oh wow, an actual site that,, ah well,, sooooo, mind control, I suppose we
should be concerned with all the bombardment of microwaves we're subjected
to. Thinking more in line with cooking meat [and cancers], after all some of
it will pass through buildings... but hmm ...

Anyone that installs Vista is insane. XP users are just dumb. My
two cents.

Just WHY would you want to leave the comfort, speed, and safety
of Win98SE?

As for WMP11 (or whatever version), get VLC and be free.

I don't understand either.

I hestitate to say Win 98 SE gets better every year but, from
hearing Vista people say Vista is making XP look good, I may be
saying that in a few months.

| Too late. Been monitoring many of the news groups for Vista for
| awhile now... interesting to watch the "gosh golly geee" of the NEW
| and improved,,,

WITHOUT THE HAT? Your HEAD will begin to glow, MEB, then, instead of
that Zapatopi hat Galen posted about!

| and the "WTF", why is this and dat not working...
| DUH, because you're using a new partially completed OS with devices
| NOT specifically designed for it...
| But this requires a measure of intelligence to understand ... and of
| course, the MVPs direct around in circles evading the intended
| outcome... "upgrade your computer and peripherals stupid", don't you
| get consumerism????

Uhuh. But probably it's best to just buy a new GHz computer to start
with, rather than find new peripherals for a MHz one. It may come with a
Zapatopi hat & full body armor too!

Someone should bundle that with their Vista & XP machines! Their
customers will last a lot longer! Thanks. PA Bear was recommending that
Zapatopi hat for XP use too, IIRC. But I never upgraded from my
makeshift tinfoil, although it only glows half as much.

We are in full agreement. But it never will end. Win98 has lasted
through XP. It may last through Vista as well. When finally Win98 has
crumbled to dust-- we may actually have seven to choose from!

No, because by that time, even XP won't be installable on those computers,
and we'll be forced to take Vista (or whatever the alleged latest and
greatest bloatware op system is then).

You are right. I guess second hand might do too for big fat experts like
us, though. Hopefully, we'll be even twice as fat by then too!
