I was running Win98SE, until I got a newer ATI card and it wouldn't work in 98SE. so had to upgrade to XP home and lose my CH stick and throttle. Now I have to use  X52 which I hate, can't afford the cost of a new CH stick and throttle.  :mad:
Well, my 2 cents worth

you did not do your research......their are many of us who still use our ancient / old Analog - gameport CH fighter Stick/Throttle/Peddles  with Windows XP ( XP Pro ).........go to chhangar.com and get the batch file......you can use old gameport CH stuff with Windows XP with no problems

ordered 3 PCs from HP last week, downgraded to XP and the sales guy told me that roughly 1/2 of the business level desktops they are selling are ordered with XP downgrade...

50% are still idiots ordering Vista?  Surprising.

Well fellas,
I have to say this, Vista 64 bit is a lot more than pretty.
Yes Fulmar, I am 1 of the idiots that you have mentioned, & I'm glad that I am!

No need of me saying anything more.
One day y'all will find out.

I heard that this new oceanliner coming out is unsinkable.  I can't recall the name of it though...

Yes, that is why Vista is the worst selling OS since WIndows ME.  And it is actually doing worse than Windows ME if you take away OEM sales for both.

It is so good, Microsoft cannot wait to replace it.  So why bother with Vista?  Did you also fall for the Windows ME gaff?  Or did you also think it was just a wonderful OS as well?

Or was it just sarcasm and I bit the hook?

Hell no.  Microsoft makes vast majority of their sales in the commercial/business market.

Fulmar is quite right.

Microsfot would love to stear all gamers away from PC's and to the X-Box.
