A new OS for me...

It'll be a new job, and new OS too. For years, people have been doing so many things that they always thought they ought to do, e.g. virus scanning and software updates. I always asked, why so I need to do so much rubbish? Linux has been a good alternative, but I always encounter softwares that I'd need windows.

Recently, experience with XP has pushed me to the extreme. I used to be able to connect my scanner to Win2k, and I could scan with the default software with comes with Win2k without any problem. Recently, I did the same operation in XP, it gives me so MUCH trouble, and still not solved! Not to mention that many software that WERE bundled in windows, e.g. fax, and they disappear quietly!

Recently, the Mozilla Firefox browser has got much public attention, that were name the "Internet Explorer alternative". But what is ironic is IE was the "Netscape alternative". But nevertheless, it is a good replacement for IE. NO, should not be the replace, but should be the default browser (that is not part of operating system), friend. So, that's all for the applications, on the OS itself, is Mac OS an alternative? Hee hee.
