    Wink I have figured out the differences between 95 and XP...

    Well...after long hard work and deliberation...I have figured out the differences between 95 and XP:

    Code:
    //Windows 95
    int main (void)
    {
       BootUp();
       FlashCopyrightSigns();
       Crash();
    }
    Code:
    //Windows XP
    int main (void)
    {
       BootUp();
       RunFineForSixMonths();
       CrashQuadratically ( );
       DoThatForAFewMonths();
       CrashTotally();
    }

    So the only real difference was the length of time you had to pay through the nose for Tech Support?

    A long time ago I wrote this and posted it...

    Code:
    #include "XP.h"
    #include "WinNT.h"
    
    void WaitCrashThread(void);
    
    int main(void)
    {
    	//bootup
    	Randomize(ERROR_MSGS); //WinXP does this at BOOT! Neat!
    	UseMem("75%"); //improvement!
    	Boot(WinNT->XPShell);
    	DumbDown(WIN_NT);
    	LockOut(USER_CMDS); //only during boot though, right?
    	if(SystemSweep(PhysicalDrive, "erroneous") == 1) //oopsie!
    	{
    		SysBeep(1);
    		printf("possible error found on drive %s - reformatting.\n",PhysicalDrive);
    		Format(PhysicalDrive);
    		if(USER_FRANTICALLY_BASHING_KEYS)
    			StallSystem(50);
    		printf("There we go, all clean");
    		Reboot();
    	}
    	else //continue loading XP
    	{
    		Release(USER_CMDS);
    		Load(PrettySkin, BUTCHER_COMPRESS);
    		if(!UserLogin())
    		{
    			LockOut(USER_CMDS); //shouldn't ........ed XP off!
    			printf("Bad Boy!\n");
    			while(1)
    			{	
    				Reboot();
    				Crash();
    			}
    		}
    		Play(Load(AnnoyingStartupMIDI), MAX_VOLUME);
    		LockOut(COMPETITOR_APPS); //including ZoneAlaram! Take that!
    		if(SystemSweep(ALL_DRIVES, "competitor) == 1) {_unlink(Found);}
    		Load(WIN_NT::XP_CORE) //slipped in a SMALL touch of C++
    	} //Great, done booting up!
    	Start(ALL_APPS);
    	Start(UNWANTED_APPS);
    	Annoy();
    	Display(COPYRIGHT);
    	Annoy();
    	Display(COPYRIGHT);
    	if(!Register)
    		KillComputer(TOTAL, FRY_RAM, MELT_CPU);
    	Display(COPYRIGHT);
    	if(Closed(ANY_APP)
    		Restart_App();
    	Call(WaitCrashThread());
    	return 666;
    }
    
    void WaitCrashThread(void)
    {
    	Wait(30); //one month
    	Crash();
    	LockOutEx(USER_CMDS, FORCE_REINSTALL);
    }

    Know what the scary thing is? I wrote that before I even had XP, and a few of those things would appear to be correct...

    Code:
    	if(SystemSweep(PhysicalDrive, "erroneous") == 1) //oopsie!
    	{
    		SysBeep(1);
    		printf("possible error found on drive %s - reformatting.\n",PhysicalDrive);
    		Format(PhysicalDrive);
    		if(USER_FRANTICALLY_BASHING_KEYS)
    			StallSystem(50);
    		printf("There we go, all clean");
    		Reboot();
    	}
    that's practically correct (damn do I hate rebooting incorrectly, cuz that's whn XP does this)

    >>Play(Load(AnnoyingStartupMIDI), MAX_VOLUME);

    Damn is that music ever loud!
    >>LockOut(COMPETITOR_APPS); //including ZoneAlaram! Take that!

    Sure does!

    >>Load(WIN_NT::XP_CORE) //slipped in a SMALL touch of C++

    Boy howdy!
