Someone once told me there was a app for Linux that lets you run both Linux and Windows 95/98/200/NT at the same times Chuckles The main problem with windows is it was NOT designed to be an OS. If you think back to windows 3.1, that program was just a software package, DOS is really the Os. Windows 95 comes along and changed that totally, and it had serve problems. Windows 98 corrected only the surface flaws but the memory 'hole' is still getting wider. The way it's meant to work is this. You start a program and it takes up memory, then you close the program and you free up all that memory right? Wrong. Windows sends 1%-10% of that memory into the hole of nothingness till you restart. Windows NT/2000 do not have that problem and Microsoft is NOT (there will be a outside party who made a engine to handle windows memory within the next year) going to fix that error in 9.X. What they are doing (if you havent noticed yet) is phasing out Windows 9.X and making people move to the more powerful NT. By the time everyone gets to the NT phase (and spend more money) NT will support the games and such and the world will be happy again :) Ok I'm going to stop before I go into a 6 page long story. Im a Microsoft sales rep BTW, so thats how I know all of this stuff :)
