XP Performance

[Patrick Thurmond]

I will try to come in december to one of the meetings and educate everyone on the features of XP. I 
know this is hard to comprehend, but just b/c ms has made crap for OSes in the past does not mean 
they can't improve. Heck the worst thing about Linux is the UI. I am sorry to say but it ain't very 
user friendly and I don't look forward to giving it to my parents for their main pc. It just would 
end up frustrating the hell out of them. Heck even Redhat wouldn't help. Sorry but that is the one 
place that MS kicks linux ass is the UI, but especially the GUI. Their command line commands are 
simple and obvious and don't have a huge amount of switches and triggers to do a simple task like 
unziping a file. I love linux, but face it, it won't rule the desktop until it becomes a desktop 
OS, not a server OS with a pretty skin.
