Today when I turned on my machine I found out my dad had switched the hard drive! The new hard drive had MS windows on it. Windows looked so weird that I ended up switching it back to xandros!! I can't believe that's how long ago since I've used windows. :o

It's good for you to check up on the competition every so often ...

That way you can pinch (err, borrow) their better ideas and improve GNU/Linux to the point that Windows becomes redundent.

Windows ME looks really weird, I like KDE and Gnome better! Besides, Linux has tons of games and Windows barely has any. :D

Hmm.. EMH. I'm surprised.

I believe that it is proper to talk about MS Windows being bundled with a few apps versus GNU/Linux distributions offering many many games. Besides, you may not know about all of those MS Windows games because we don't buy them :-D

Well, Windows ME does not install as many games in the first place when compared to Linux. :wink:

...until your dad puts Windows 3.0 (better yet, Windows 286) on without telling you first.

Somewhere I have the early versions of MS Windows, Windows 1.0 as well as Windows 2.0. Since they failed in the market, version 2.1 was called Windows 286. The 2.1 version comes with a *really* cool feature called overlapping windows ... :lol:
