It depends how you configure Webroot. I have it configured so that it does
not annoy me. Exactly, the Microsoft antispyware does show promise but we
must all have patience while this Giant software is tested. I hope that
Microsoft can release antispyware for the cooperation and power
home-based/business-based system user on a LAN network that will be a for pay
product that will be easy to install and unistall on an XP system. I
dual-boot with 98SE and XP PRO. and use a customized boot.ini with a
customized registry and have customized DOS (Disk Operating System) for my
needs. I am disappointed that XP has a poor legacy substitute DOS shell
wheras 98SE has true MS-DOS but still lacks some DOS commands as PCR has
pointed out that were removed instead of being updated for more modern use.
BTW, does anyone know how to acquire a retail edition of MS-DOS 6.22 which I
think is the last full DOS version but if it is not then I want the last
complete MSDOS kit. The reason I want the full MSDOS kit is that I want to
do more power testing on DOS and need a complete DOS package for my needs. I
can then send my suggestions to Bill Gates and figure out the best way to
develop future Windows packages and also if it is at all feasible to have a
Classics Windows version in the future for older computers that can help
Microsoft solve some environmental problems for older computers and hopefully
stop or at least slow the trend towards Apple and Open-Source products. I
can setup my computer to have a tri-boot with MS-DOS 6.22, 98SE and XP PRO.
Thanks for your time and help.
