Re: Microsoft Sucks!

Children want attention, why do you?

Earlier you suggested a 5 year old computer is a paperweight.
Now you suggest otherwise.
You are inconsistent.
How can a 5 year old computer be "running well" and also be a paperweight?

If your 1.3 MHz is struggling with Windows XP, something other than Windows
XP is the problem.
My 366 MHz runs XP fine.
You probably have a hardware problem or possibly viruses, spyware and/or
other malware.

If you can not see the differences in Microsoft OSs other than resources,
you are not looking or simply do not see.

What Apple computers do or do not do is not relevant.
Your information about Windows is obviously flawed so your Apple information
is also probably flawed.
