Well, I never paid for xp, 98, 98se or 95 osr2 directly. They came with a new or used pc I purchased. I just purchase academic or employee discounted offices. Got office 95/97 and 03 with publisher. I did purchase the win 95 a upgrade from sams club back in the day.
I like unbunto(SP?) and with 4 gb of ram and 40 of disk space it wasnt too bad. Im just too use to windows, plus they use windows xp server or work station at work. Wonder what my job is going to do?
