People like my friends and stuff always complain that they have to reinstall Windows or format their HD because Windows is always crashing on them. They always complain that it's so buggy and crashes too much.
Well buddy, that's completely your problem. I have had Windows on this comp for 4 years and counting, and have never had to reinstall it or format it. The only times it has screwed up is because my HD was worn out once and I had to get a new one, but Windows has never done anything as serious as a problem.
People always seem to think that when there computer screws, they have to format everything to fix it. Well, people are stupid. 99% of problems can be fixed without going to this extreme. Once even my friend suggested that I should format because my ICQ crashed and the blue screen came up. I just about slapped him. I just reset and the problem was fixed. Done. And look, I haven't had any problems since.
Now you must be thinking, this guy probably has nothing big installed, and he probably never installs big problems and such. Well, I have quite a lots of large applications and internet progs that take up a lot of RAM when I run them all at once. People who tend to do this have the most problems as they keep on uninstalling and reinstalling lots of things, fucking up their registry. A common problem is deleting a program by just removing the folder, and forgettign to do the correct uninstall. I've seen professionals do this and it makes me want to slap em. I am not a technician or professional but I manage to have no problems.
Oh and btw, Linux? Don't make me laugh. It is the most worthless OS around. Oooh wow it doesn't crash. Big shit. It is too complicated to use and has no user friendly interface in it. I installed it on a spare p75 in my room, and was looking at the steps to change screen resolution. Fuck, you had to edit like 3 text files with this useless text editor and reset the comp and all this. Windows: right click on the display icon in the systray and pick your resolution. It changes instantly without resetting your comp. Linux is good for server hosting, and that's about it. People that are like "WINDOWs su><0r MAC RULES" or something similar need to realize that Windows has advantages over every friggin feature you could point out in those.
I will admit that Windows is getting to be a bit of a memory-hog OS as each new version comes out. So you know what? Stay with win95 or 98SE for the time being. I personally have 95b which is perfect and I have used 98SE and find it to be very nice as well. Well, I've written quite a lot so I'll stop now... getting kind of bored...
And that's my two cents.
