Started off back in the bad old days of DOS, then Win 3.1, which was entertaining enough for a kid. Win 95 and 98 corrupted me to the Microsoft ways and I upgraded to Windows 2000 Professional as part of a deal. I got a new computer, provided it had Win2kP (on the grounds that it didn't run games) installed. Ha. Ha. Ha. I'm still running Win2k, but want to switch to XP when I get the chance.
No way in hell I'm switching to Vista, at least until the service packs roll out. My experiences with my friends' computers have been frustrating, infuriating, and conducive to high blood pressure (for them. I just laughed.) My friend's quad-core processor can handle Vista pretty well in all its over shiny trashy glory, although it's prone to random crashes and shutdowns without explanation, can only connect to the internet on Wednesday afternoons via dial-up, and occasionally decides to reset his network settings in the middle of LAN gaming. Much lulz had here.
Ironically, I'd have bought myself a new computer by now, but I'm not willing to fork out extra cash for an operating system I'll just have to pay to replace.

Just because it's in the thesaurus doesn't mean it's a good idea.
And why isn't 'dethesaurisation' in the dictionary?
