Yes, I am so very pissed off that the mouse looks the same, so very very pissed.

I am even more outraged by the school installing XP anyway. We previously had Windows 98 on everything last year and when I returned to school this year, everything was XP and there was no end of troubble. No Internet, couldn't log on etc. even though Win 98 still worked fine!
People who upgrade to the newest thing simply because it's new, not because it's better, outrage me too much.

I dont think your school upgraded to the newest Windows because it's new (unless your school is rich, unlike mine) They (i think) upgraded for the benefit of the students (lol sounds stupid).  The school actually has good intensions although they are going about it all wrong, they are tring to give you a more modern day computer world.  This makes sense, the school doesn't want to use older software because it is (they think) not used anymore.  School learned a valuable lesson in MS OS's didnt they?

If i was you i'd talk to who ever is incharge of the computer area, more than likely their computer illiterate but if you are sincere they'll listen.

To those who replyed to the doubble-post in the dead-thread zone, sorry about that. I didn't put it there.

The admins at my shcool arn't to bad, literacy wise, except the fact that they installed XP.

hm_murdock:
it's simply appearance, that's all.

Windows NT 3.1 used the same, identical cursor as Win31, and it never got changed, except in 2000, when they added an extra pixel at the tip to make it "sharp"

yeah, xpee sucks ass, but the underlying kernel shares NO SIMILARITY to Windows 9x, other than API support. there is no DOS in NT, even though an entire UNIX layer can be added (I've heard that it improves the stability)

isolationist:
It wouldn't suprise me it the UNIX layer for NT improved stability.
