After a week testing XP
Tuesday, August 14, 2001 by Fa65*BFh | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
First the ui looked great, eye-candy as hell, pretty nice and real fast so i said "wow!, this os rules!", not only the windows or objects, but everything, even the folder/file description or options looked integrated, precise scrollers and all looked nice, "WOOOW!, the best OS ever!", that was the most stupid thing i ever said, after some days the UI didnt look so nice as before, just another MS default everybody will have soon, tiring and common, the stupid folder/file description and options that looked so good before now started to being a pain in the neck, seems like windows is starting to become another macos where is very easy to use the PC but very hard to get all the potential because all the "Wizards" or "Fast and Easy" stuff all around, its well know that the more easy the less power, Linux is a great example, after a while i installed WindowBlinds XP because Luna was starting to became boring, i noticed most Windows 2000 drivers worked on Windows XP, even the usage is very similar not to said equal, same stuff, but all the "easy to use" stuff is still there, and doesnt wants to go, i go back again to Windows 2000... now that was the same looking different, but heck, at last i can move freely around the system, not funny fading menus, just file name and preview, i can configure the web look of my folders freely again to match WB skins, off course you can turn most of XP funny stuff off, but why should i pay for that?, why should i keep the same hardware so XP activation dont complain? why should i paid anually?, windows 2000 is and looks like is going to be the best MS OS ever, XP is just... XP, can get that with some 3rd party companys as Stardock, its going to be more wise to stick with the fast and powerfull Windows 2000 and waste my money on something more necesary like advanced english lessons so i can stop posting with so many errors 
Off course you cant trust Microsoft, is more like they are going to make winxp no comaptible with win2k so users cant stick with it and use the newest apps... Viva Linux!, not the most easy, not the faster, not the best looking, but the best OS ever. So what now? should i check my gramm? Nah!

Microsoft routinely issues service packs to patch security problems with its browser. In this case, however, Web surfers who installed the product were unable to view QuickTime video. The same problem affects a test release of Microsoft's new Internet Explorer 6 browser.
With IE 5.5, Microsoft discontinued support for plug-ins, according to a Microsoft representative. Instead, the browser relies on technology developed by Microsoft known as ActiveX that links desktop applications to the Web.
ActiveX has been seen as a challenger to Sun Microsystems' Java programming language, which Microsoft has said will no longer be supported by default in its pending Windows XP operating system and IE 6.
----- Taked from a news site, no kidding Java is better since it supports multiple OS and not just Windows, also noted that MS added a very crappy and slow (almost high school work) Java support on IE4, when java was just realased and needed some bust.

Microsoft is working to incorporate the well known "Start" button from the Windows Platform into X Windows' Gnome interface. "We just can't figure out how the hell to get that darn foot out of there! The damn thing is like stuck."
