1. Comment - Microsoft: No IE7 for Windows 2000

   (Jun 1, 2005 - 8:35 AM)

   Well, i have pretty good machine (is Athlon XP 2600+/512/200+250Gb/FX5200+ enough for XP? haha...) but i run Windows 2000 just because it is faster and more stable than XP. I don't need that unuseful interface with tons of stupid dogs and cats trying to "assist" me. I don't need crappy skins and animation. I don't need built-in ability to burn CDs - it will never beat Nero. I don't need "folder tasks" - they only eat the screenspace and are no use against FAR or Windows Commander. I don't need tons of security holes - Windows 2000 is much more secure thanks to that source code leak ;) I don't need that stupid XP "firewall" - it will never beat Outpost, even the free version. I don't need that "security center" - i am always sure that my AV program is updated and patches are installed. I don't need that crappy mediaplayer - it is no use against Winamp and foobar in audio and BSPlayer in video.
   
   So i don't need IE at all. I use Opera and sometimes firefox - and it goes okay.
   
   But WHY that stupid M$ trying to FORCE me to upgrade to that ph***ing XP?! I don't need it! But they're start to develop "xp-only" progs; soon they will force other developers to release "xp-only" software... I DON'T WANT TO UPGRADE TO THAT s***, no matter of speed of the computer i'll have! Sadly, there will be a moment i will do that because of my need to use some programs not running on 2000 :(
