I just can't stand WINDOWS anymore!!!
I've been along time since i wanted to get ride off WINDOWS
I've found for free Linux Mandriva, wich is an opensource operative system, I'm really new to LINUX, so its been hard for me... Im still using the crappiest WINDOWS OS!!!
I've re-formatted my Desktop PC, with a Windows Media Center Edition and as I started using it clean as new it crashes about 4 times!! in my face!! ha!!! and lots of time obviously it gets stuck!!!
well... what about your windows pissed off storys?

I agree destyn, that's why I use Ubuntu (www.unbuntu.org). I also have a Mac for my kids. Ubuntu is free and I haven't had any problems. Let me know if you have any problems. I'll try my best to help out.

There is not enough time in the day to tell you all my windows nightmares. They happen on a daily basis. Its become second nature to me now. I am still using windows 98 so you can imagine. LOL Maybe someday I can get a better computer but it to will probably give me problems. Until that day I am in WINDOWS 98 Hell!

Ubuntu should load automatically off of a CD.
I tried Ubuntu but it doesn't support my wireless card. 🙁

it might not be windows , it could be a bios setting , it could be drivers , bad memory modules , broken sectors on harddrive

Lori.... Can't you upgrade to Windows XP? 98 was always a bit tempormental.

By my years of study and thingy of using it, I really don't agree but I respect your opinion.
but to have every PC also with WINDOWS in it, burns my hard disks, RAM and CPU scaling temperature and usage, I've 3 different PC, one new on every year, and i cant tolerate that...
With Linux I've seen my PC more stable, no crashes, no bugs, no errors. 😁
but well nothing last forever hahahhaa... and to have a good thing it has a price.
I admire people who are using Win 98 or later than Win Xp, because they have last long enough to be alive!!
Everyone should try Mandriva, I haven't tried Ubunto, but seems a bit like Mandrive they both comes from Linux.
Anyone interest on searching more info should go to:

Before I got my laptop I had an Compaq running off less then 256 Ram and using Windows ME......after that almost anything seems wonderfully good.

WHen I got my newest pc it had XP installed. It was ok for about a month then started to go blue screen almost every 45 minutes. I scanned it and ran diagnostics but the only thing that would stop it is putting a virus protection on it running full time.
I have no clue why it worked but it did. Eventually a bad sector in my new hard drive got so bad it would barely work. I got a new hard drive and its working fine on Xp now. I loved 98 but XP is ok. I'd think if you have things going that bad its not the operating system but the pc itself maybe the mother board or the brand you are buying.
