Ouch. Were you at least able to install the service packs and the rollup? That would leave you only a year or two behind. FWIW, I rebuild my Win2k CD with the updates and install from there. I don't think I've used it since around January/February. I definitely won't be happy if the next time I install it, I can't update anything. Dern M$
I have no objection to non-free software in either sense of the word. Free and non-free are just two different business models. Either way works. The only place free seems to suffer is in terms of usability. Many free projects have great features but horrible interfaces for the everyday user. GNOME- Tell my
why I can't have multiple background images??? What? You think it will confuse me, that I'm too stupid to figure it out? meh.
Blender- eek!
CLI only- Most computer users wouldn't even try it...
In non-free, usability seems to be priority over features and in free, features over usability. MHO
