Let me get this clear: you keep older computers, running these older
operating systems, just so you can open other users' files??

For that mythical "business" of yours you said you run from your

Frank just stuck his foot in his mouth again. He must like the taste.
Don't worry, he does that dozens of times every week then pretends he
didn't say what he said or that you didn't understand or some other
half-ass excuse. Don't expect anything rational from Frank, he's just
a clueless troll that lives in never never land where he fancies
himself the ultimate computer user.

Exactly! If someone bring us for example and old MS Publisher file, say
v2, we have that version loaded on ME. So we can view the file as original.
Simple huh?

Re: Vista = big fat bust in the home market.

It is related to XP since the OP included the fact of people removing vista
and installing XP

Its good news to XP users so that they will know they are using the best MS
OS, and that vista is to be avoided.

Linux sux (in my opinion) and I don't give a sh*t about your fanatical

It's only software you moron.

Again you show you inability to even make up your own insults
preferring instead to parrot what I've used instead. Another sure sign
of a weak mind. The entire sentence above is made up exclusively from
what I used just today. Pathetic!

I have Win98, Me, W2K, XP, & Mandrake Linux on separate partitions. But
I'm a consultant who "deals with the public".

And what file does an OS open that a newer one won't? None. Are you
saying you're running other software that will ONLY run on Me, or W2K,
or even XP? What would that be Frank? What would POSSIBLY run on Me
that won't run on anything else?

No, he said he had XP on another hard drive in a workstation dual
booting with Vista. He didn't mention how the other OS's were installed.

That was a secondary point, to which I would have said that he could
consolidate his machines by using VirtualPC.

My main point, was why? He's only really need one of either 2000 or XP, and
only a very slight chance of ever needing a Win9x OS for doing whatever he
claims he needs them for.

As you know, the applications are of relevance, and not the OS.
