Since I met that spyglass lady (thats how i call her in school) I am even more against IE, from all the stories that she told me.

Ok here's the thing. My wind0ze is needed for ADSL and gaming. If not for gaming, at least ADSL. Money is such an issue for me that I'd rather learn to live with Wind0ze, then shell out 100 bucks and 10 extra dollars a month just for true freedom. Maybe I should bitch out my provider(tactfully) and threaten to write to the newspaper.
(then write to them because I will likely not get a good answer)
Now ADSL is not the issue here. Im contemplating the idea that maybe, if you want 100% wind0ze compatiblity(to my knowledge 2002 and earlier games have no XP only requirements, all Win 9X), no stupid XP quirks, no spyware, and better reliability then W98, then W95 is the way to go.
Im also saying that if the 2 year "go-to-shit" thing in W98 and likely XP causes less relability, W95 could have excellent reliability, even against XP. Although maybe it would be a good idea to get some 3rd party programs to help it out.
Someone here mentioned that their W98 install started to get really bad at the 2 year mark, yet their W95 install has still been going fine past that time. Seeing as both use the registry, that should indicate better day to day stability.

BUUUUUMP! Ok let's try this again. W95, W98, and XP, pros and cons. If you had to choose one, and you could choose any one of these(assuming XP is crackz0red to not need that activation stuff), which one? "Wind0ze sucks, use Linux!" Is not allowed. Imagine it like a cancer that has taken over my brain. We can't just rip out the cancer(replace windows 100% with Linux), I'll die. The best we can do is some radiation therapy and drugs and hope the brain damage isn't too severe(dual boot). This is the situation many people face with wind0ze.
Ok if your listing pros and cons, you can add Linux. However, there should be enough pros/cons in the wind0ze entries to at least show which wind0ze is the best in the end, at least if the tantalizing Linux option is out of reach.
Note:Cost is not an issue, because SMART people use pirated versions, rather then paying money for it. Hey I know it sux, it keeps MS alive, but it's better then actually paying $300 for your POS Windows OS!
