Of course not. After all, I haven't used any kind of windows since
win98.
Yet you base your opinion of the current version off of an obsolete
version.
Not to mention all the screenshots and articles written about it.
lol. Yet you do not extend this ability to the "Wintrolls". In this very
thread you just said:
"Because (unlike most wintrolls WRT the mac) I've actually used older
versions of Windows."

You insist that "Wintrolls" use a Mac before they form their opinion
about the Macintosh

Or at least have some knowledge of it.

That's not what you said:

"The average wintroll on this thread has never used a mac - of
any OS. I have used Windows - albeit of an older version - so I know
how awful MS OSes can be."

"Because (unlike most wintrolls WRT the mac) I've actually used older
versions of Windows."

The implication being that they're no qualified to comment on the
Macintosh because they've not used it.

But setting that detail aside for the moment would you think them
qualified about the Macintosh if their knowledge came from something
like the following:

"Mac hangs after minimizing windows!"

http://www.computing.net/mac/wwwboard/forum/10755.html

and similar articles?

Windows XP is leaps and bounds more stable than Windows 98.

So I hear. But then that doesn't take much.

We're in agreement.

I'll agree with you that Windows 98 was unstable. But Windows XP is not Windows 98.

That is also my impression.

Yet you form your opinion off of Windows 98.


"You have this habit of reading things that support your point of view
and ignore what contradicts it."

Just like you do.

Examples?
