ya, there will always be backdoors and exploits, whats nice about windows is that they arnt afraid to admit it and patch it.
 
Yeah lots of patches. My work PC has Mirimba auto download in it and it is downloading a new patch and installing it every few days at most.

No way. I wait for the Service Release Two before I ever delve into a Windows product.

Damned straight! And even then, you patch your dev boxes first . . . and then wait a week.

Anyone else remember NT 4, sp 4? <*shudder!*> That evil fucker took my company's whole service down for almost a full day.

Burning CD's and DVD's, less restrictions....

I don't have any Win3.1 machines though.

lol.. an oversized paper weight ? j/k 98 is a decent os for avg tasks... but it is just too much of security risk to keep around any longer atleast in the bussniss, plus it is alot easier to manage pc's with win 2000 and up

My first PC was a commodore VIC-20 :)

Before that I messed around with HP mini's and mainframe stuff.
A state of the art mini with a whole 32K of magnetic core ram. and a removable hard drive pack that actually held one meg of data.
We did a lot with it. Ran Basic, Fortran, algol, Cobol, etc on this HP mini's.
I learned Pascal on my Commodores....
It was nice when we moved up to the ones that ran off of electricity :D
