Re: It looks like you're writing a letter.

I saw Rover just a couple of days ago, whilst hunting down and killing off XP installations. Had to put him down. Sad really. Everytime I log onto an XP machine to rip any required info out of its guts before shooting it in the head xp is always as excited as a puppy to see me:

"Would you like to take a tour of the exciting new features in windows XP?" (y/n) :) ) )

At that point you lose sympathy

Its the same kind of excited hype when installing a not new ms os - loads of ads for the "exciting new features" and sentences with "productivity" in them . You'd think theyd put some sort of timer in - and if its 5 years past the release date of the OS swap the messages for something like:

"sorry your having to go through this shit for the billionth time - why diont you go get a coffee, I'll beep when ive finished"
