Never mind folks as Msoft will not be shipping a news reader with
Windows 7, nobody will know Usenet exists anyway after that.

Do believe after the fiasco of Vista that anyone will actually go to the
next M$ operating system?

Well it is free if you know where to look

That is, until one late night when you've misplaced your glasses you allow
Micro$oft's Genuine Advantage so-called 'update' download onto your machine
& then up comes a message that says that the software isn't genuine & the
screen changes to black!

Great stuff. But a $225.00 purchase of a genuine Micro$soft WinXP will
alleviate the problem, and after all, everyone should own at least one
genuine copy.

He's talking about a free beta which self-destructs in August. I've been
trying it, it's not too bad, a lot better than Vista, but I'll stick
with my XP pro for now. Linux is OK but Photoshop doesn't run too well
under it and The Gimp is a pretty poor substitute. Its also kind of
difficult to develop C# apps under Linux.
