If You Were Boneheaded Enough To Upgrade to WinME…
From WiredNews:
“Half the technology that’s in there [Windows 98 & Windows ME] is stuff that an end-user will never use.”
Great. Then WHY IS THAT STUFF IN THERE? Oh. It’s because MS could give a flying fuck about their ‘end-users.’ Apparently (duh) Windows ME and 98 are slower because of all the crap that goes on in the background, mostly the Active Desktop (I love typing that, because I don’t have one…:> ). So this dude wrote this little app called 98Lite to divorce the system with all that extra crap that comes along with it (IE, for one). This tends to make the system respond ‘snappier.’ Hrm. My system is snappy without any sort of third-party software, but whatever.
