You are way off base on this. It's not Microsoft's fault at all. It's the end user who is to blame for this.

Try putting together a business plan and get it funded to compete against Microsoft. Talk about an exercise in futility.

It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with business. Corporate, end-users, and developers have spoken. And they are then ones who put Microsoft where Microsoft is.

Politicians have doodly-poop to say about this.

Suggestions for the optimal amount of memory runs around 4GB. Microsoft fully expects systems to have have around 8GB of RAM in the next couple or years and they intend on using it.

WTF man, you're making our current PCs look like AMIGA or ATARI!:mad:

It's not like you have freedom of choice to install something else its those big bad evil republicans. How dare Microsoft and Bill Gates for being such viscious ruthless software Giants.

Some liberal senator should just make them pay other companys not to make software at all, then it would be all fair

Dang it Gunslinger, you left out Haliburton AND Abortions!

Re: Windows 95 was sooo much better, it was all that was needed.

Cool, so how does that steam engine car of yours work? Has the price of wood gone up as well?

The comparison to W95/98 is pretty bad - those OS'es were unstable heaps of trouble. W2k/XP are the first generations that combined the stability of NT with the ease of use seen in W98.

Beta 1 does not have everything enabled yet Rosco. Beta 2 should have more enabled. Expect RAM requirements to go up with Beta 2 and later.

I've run various builds of "Longhorn" and it makes all three versions of XP seem pretty light on comsumption of hardware resources.

I must be doing something wrong. I'm running 98SE and have no problems at all. Never had a virus, worm, trojan, lockup or BSOD.

AHII runs and looks fine @ 1280 x 1024 with 512MB Ram, AMD 2700+, ATI 9800Pro, All USB CH JS, throttle & rudders and no IRQ problems, no services that need to be shut down and never seen a "windows messenger" popup...

What am I missing?

Just some food for thought here, the latest edition of Maximum PC had an editorial suggesting that with the switch to Intel processors by Apple this may be the beginning of a new OS war with Apple trying to grab a market share with Mac OS . I've used both OS, neither are perfect and both have their strengths and weakness's, but in the end it would be nice to have some real competition forcing both MS and Apple to bring a better product to us. Not saying that is what will happen, just saying give it a thought.
