Believe me, I'd LOVE to get rid of Norton, but this is the office PC and I have to use what they say. :sigh:
And I have to use SQL 2000 because some of our servers still use it, and cannot change right now. There are reasons for this that I cannot say (if I told you, I'd have to kill you.
)
When XP came out, I dug right in once the little bugs were ironed out (mostly driver updates). So, I am certainly not a luddite, just opposed to what doesn't make sense. Change is good, as long as it isn't change just for the sake of change.
I tell ya, if everything worked in Linux without having to run emulators or virtual environments (and with no performance hit), I'd switch over in a heartbeat. I really am tired of Windows in general. Between Mr. Gates and his "Windows will make your life easier, cure world hunger, and get you laid more often" promises, and Mr. Job's super-inflated head and his i-everything, I sometimes just want to run into the mountains...
