Triple boot problems

[AlanHK]

You have misunderstood me. I am not saying you are an idiot. I am merely stating that by giving false information, you make my job and others in my field more difficult. I am saying you are talking about a subject that you are not qualified to comment on.

I will comment as much as I like on any damn thing I want to.

You are free to do the same.

and you will be wrong as you were earlier...I have brought facts to the table and all you could come up with was some nonsense about punch cards. My point about the butcher and the doctor is that you would talk to subject matter experts, not people that do not deal with the stuff on a massive scale on a daily basis.

I do not have a problem with you. I now walk away from this thread.

You seem to want respect simply by demanding it.
And similarly demanding that others not even comment.

Unless you are in the information security field, please do not talk on the subject. Holes in the OS are always exposed. That is why we had attacks, such as Blaster, Welchia, Conficker and so forth...

And yet all those passed me by.
And my family's PCs, which I set up.
Because my computers ARE NOT EXPOSED.

It's just that my brain is part of the loop, I don't entrust it all to some bloated anti-virus suite.
I turn off services I don't need. I don't install anything from an untrusted source.
I don't use IE or Outlook.

In 15 years or so I've been online, zero infections.

Nevertheless, I never advocated anyone else to do it my way. I was just mentioning my own experience.
Feel free to keep laying down the law in your own office.

AlanHK and Dv8ted2: Continue your private discussion somewhere else please.

stiltman, I've gotten some older apps to run in Win2k, but even those that will run in Win2k run better in Win98se. For that reason I plan to keep Win98se but replace Win2k with WinXP since Win2k security updates will be stopped in a few months.

I too use Mozilla Seamonkey browser for most things, but unfortunately some sites and apps require IE to work. For some of us who use such apps or sites not using IE at all is not an option.
