How Do You Get Your Geek Nostalgia Fix? 422
Vrtigo1 writes "I keep a Pentium Pro CPU on my desk underneath my monitor because it reminds me of simpler times. Every once in a while I want to revisit the old days of the original Doom, the phonebook-sized Computer Shoppers, when you looked forward to the demo CD that came with Computer Gaming World because the Internet was too slow to distribute software, and when Falcon Northwest's Mach V was the envy of many a geek. IRC is just about the only technology I can think of that's still in use today and still looks the same as it did in the early nineties. So where do you go when you need to regress back to simpler times and get your nostalgia fix? I foolishly trashed my old tech mags, and there isn't a whole lot online that has survived from that long ago."

You're high.
7 is pretty damn good, and far superior to XP in terms of security, usability, and robustness.
It bring a lot to the table XP didn't, or was just kludged together. And yes, Vista was a PoS.
DX10 brings more to the table as well. In fact, it's the advantage of PC. You can take a DX9 titles, and make it look better.
Fine, use XP, but stop the ignorance and lies.
You have no argument. You are making an emotional reaction to what should be a rational one. You are no different then a monkey who is afraid to let go of their rock so they stay stuck in a termite hill.
