November 15, 20169 yr It's amazing how much better that picture looks now than it did at the time XP came out. The quality of displays has come a long long way. Best OS Background. Best OS startup sound. Best Microsoft OS all around. If I could have put more than 4GB on an XP rig I'd probably still be using it to this day. No doubt so would millions of others. Thank you for the picture. It's now my desktop background for the first time in a good 10+ years. Now I need to hunt down the XP sound suite.
November 15, 20169 yr The "best OS background" award goes to whatever background is not stupidly blindingly bright - aka, it's basically impossible for any version of Windows to win this award. Edited November 15, 20169 yr by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.
