Star If Only We Knew Then What We Know Now About Windows XP
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Mon 25th Sep 2006 05:30 UTC
Windows Windows XP is turning five years old, but will anybody want to celebrate the occasion? Microsoft's long-anticipated replacement for 'Win 9x' - the series of releases that began with Windows 95 and ended with Windows Millennium Edition - was never supposed to stick around this long. But half a decade after it began shipping on new computers (followed a month later by its retail debut), XP lingers.

Yeah, and 100 different conf files scattered all over the file system are such a great solution.

Not funny at all. Conf files are a much cleaner solution. They can be read by everybody, rather easily edited, and they are not a huge, messy melting pot like the registry.
Besides they are not "scattered all over the file system", the majority of them are all in one place (/etc).

Now mod me down to hell, I couldn't care less.
