then get stuck with all the same problems that people who play muds have with SP2 (most refuse to install it due to some of the 'fixes' MS uses to limit the damage viruses can do, but also fucks up every utility or program that needs a less restricted system to work properly...


Error 2 = Complaining about Microsoft Products not working right, when those 'mud' programs are not up to snuff. The only problem XP has given me with regard to programs is when I tried to play System Shock 2. I'm inclined to believe your Mud programs are simply not well written, and should be blamed. No program should 'need a less restricted system' to work properly.[quote]

Actually, I am not sure what the exact issue is with the program. Some systems it has no problem with, some it does. It is suspected that it has something to do with MS' new anti-viral trick of slowing down the connection by limiting outgoing packets if too many failed connections happen or something tied to the equally questionable limitations they added to the number of acceptable simultanious connections. Which there is a hack to get rid of as I understand. We really don't know. Most of us don't have any problem with it at all, including the guy that developed it and he uses XP. It is just one of those odd quirks you get with MS products, where things work right for 99 of the people, but for some strange reason it fails for the 100th. I call that a flaw in the OS, not the software running on it. And more stable doesn't mean stable. I doubt MS can hope to produce stable short of replacing the entire code base for the OS.

 		what is this? Slashdot!?

personally i've switched to DurgOS:
* its pretty stable (as long as you don't mention any long-lost brothers)
* there's lots of software for it (the personal finance package is INCREDIBLE)
* its very secure (hmm, a little too secure maybe, something i read about spyware companies becoming the target of freak air strikes?)

Is that just another distribution of CortanOS?

No sorry - Guilty SPARC is a proprietary system that was created by a sore loser that had a bit more moral guidelines than the writers of DurgaOS

Now you can find software for Guilty SPARC that looks and feels like DurgaOS because Guilty SPARC was about to go under and had to jump on the bandwagon quick. Interesting note: Hardware Systems that support Guilty SPARC are not upgradeable. When you ask to upgrade they just reply: "My answer would be the same...."

God I wish there was a tongue-in-cheek emote.......

 		One of these days I need to fiddle with OpenCYC a bit, maybe see if it can be tied to voice recognition and generation or something. Though simulating voices is hard enough without trying to simulate the voice of the people that did Durga or Cortana. Still, that would be a 'good' use of program bloat, not installing a bloody flight sim in Office. lol Of course I will have to go out and buy one of the new duel core processors, 3GB or ram, a special made super power supply to run the drives and fill at least 7 of the 8 available drive connectors with the biggest dang things I can get, just to have the storage needed to simulate Yasmine at age 2-3 (which last I heard was the smartest the original CYC project ever got). Sigh....
