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?

That's kinda funny - sorta like Dean's Linux-Windows switch...

DavidP several months ago
"Win XP is great! There's no problems at all!"

DavidP about a month ago
"I'm having a few problems with XP, but it's okay"

DavidP now
"hazafraggin...."

:D

I've heard the samething about morpheus, works fine for six months and then crashes.

Well ME did something similar to me, but then again it WAS ME, XP I've been using for.........don't know about 2 or 3 months now, and it's working like a charm.

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!
