@ webman...

What are you running on there?

I have all of what you have but without a firewall as i have a Router with NAT firewall... and i have an Athlon 1800+ with 512 MB ram.

Cold boot into windows complete takes no more than 1 min.

Id check MSconfig if i was you :D

Oh, and back on topic, if you check out www.ebuyer.com sometimes they pull good deals on WinXP. Not sure of the exact price at the moment, but worth a look.

Um no.

Remember Piracy is illigal (even if you hate the OS)...

I'll take Boings comment with a pinch of salt but, remember all the hard work that goes into something like windows / Amiga OS, etc.

Windows XP is cheap enough now, so there isnt even the old "its too expensive" lark.

@ Paul_Gadd

He didnt actually post any refrence to any copywrited material. You did (not that I checked, being in work and not having access to newsgroups. So i edited your post "just to be sure").

With reguard to what Boing has posted, well if he wants to openly admit he uses a pirate copy of windows on a public forum, more fool him than anyone else. He didnt post a link, or any idea to whereas the material can be obtained. (if he did and I have missed something, i apologise).
