Spit, and windows xp pro crashed my wife's computer every week until I put lilo into the mbr, win98 would last a month, and it destroyed a hard drive, requiring replacing it. the bank I worked in lost thier computers for a month, because of windows. all 20+ years of using computers tell me that windows is not a good os. you got lucky. you bought identicle hardware that it was compiled on. so next time I hear about critical security risk in windows I won't tell you, let you get your system destroyed. I WAS NOT SLAMMING WINDOWS OR MS UNTIL YOU OPENED YOUR BIG FATHEADED MOUTH AND SLAMMED ME FOR MAKING A COMMENT TO SOMEONE ELSE AFTER THEY SLAMMWED WINDOWS!!!!!
