Plug and Play Download Needed
Windows is Plug and Play Software. It was advertised as such ad absurdum.
IIRC, it was on the freakin' cover of Windows 95, at least. Whether or not it makes LOGICAL sense is irrelevant. End of story. Having a real identity problem, eh? That's what happens to fakes. End of thread. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "2" wrote in message ... "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: You're wrong. On all counts. PnP is the WINDOWS SERVICE that allows ... I NEVER said that PnP *wasn't a service* (although technically I'm not sure you can say it's a service on a win-9x system like it is on an NT-based system) I NEVER said that PnP wasn't something that Windows wasn't compatible with or knew how to handle. Saying that Windows ITSELF is "PnP" is absurd and is an incorrect use of the term PnP. Why are you going to such lengths to defend your cracked interpretation of the OP's post? It's OK Gary. It's OK to admit that you made a conceptual mis-reading of the OP. No need to dig yourself into an intellectual hole. This isin't a big deal. in the 9x days, Windows was tagged with "Plug & Play" all over the place. If someone wants to know where they can download Windows 98, don't you think they'd ask: I'm looking to download Windows 98SE. But when someone says this: I'm looking for the Windows 98SE Plug and Play software. I need it for my new hardware. Don't you think they're asking for drivers for their "new" hardware (a peripheral device of some sort, probably a USB device) that's being connected to their existing win-98se system? Don't you think that if someone really was asking for a way to download Windows itself, that it would be XP they'd be asking for? Why would anyone with "new" hardware (ie - a new computer) be looking for Win-98 and not XP? |
