Supreme Cmdr Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Now that MS has announced their lifecyles for 95/98/ME, it looks like my next game will only support XP/2K. Thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoffel Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Ah, well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. It just speeds up my general disintrest in switching to 2k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God. I knew it was only a matter of time before I needed to spend more bloody cash for a swiss cheese OS. I think it's time for me to drop the MS product line all together and give Linux a try.

IceCold Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 www.redhat.com I think Fedora this is a great distro and I bet you could actually get UC to work on it using wine. This requires alot of skill so I wouldn't recommend it as your only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kartoffel Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Something of a relief to me; I can put off switching to 2000 for a few more years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Schultz Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 There's too many naive users who think an 6-year old OS can hack it security-wise and otherwise. I blame this on them. /evil_laughter=on, rant=on Sometimes I laugh when I hear them complain about performance (NT 4 on same box as Win98 can leave Win98 in the dust doing heavy-duty number crunching, somewhere 3 to 6 times faster in my experience -- and NT 4 is a dinosaur itself). Or when they get mad when MS announces they won't fix a bug because the OS is too old and about to go obsolete anyway. Hello! You think after 8 years maybe its time to upgrade? Or do you still like to use DOS 3.1 too? /evil_laughter=off, /rant=off Do you realize how infuriating it is to code up some cool stuff only to have your testers come up to you and say, "When I run the program I get a message 'DLL missing export symbol ' and it quits"? Stupid OS variations. Actually, in all honesty now that I think about it the last time I got that error was due to an IE version issue. Certain "coolified" desktop features aren't necessarily included in even more recent versions of IE if you have an older OS (e.g. NT 4.0). I had assumed otherwise. Old OS support and IE version issues. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
