You mean your a newbie to Windows????
If you took the time to read my reply, you will see it states "Make up your
minds..either it sucks and you want NOTHING to do with it...or quit bashing
Windows."
So why are you saying that it sucks if it can do something Linux can't?
Simply put, use it if you have to... or quit bashing Windows. Linux, as
stated(by many different people) many times in the past needs some catching up
to do, before I will nuke M$ proggies off my computer. While Linux is alot
better than M$ in many ways...so is M$ better than Linux in gaming for
instance. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. So why make a statement
like "WINDOWS SUCKS @$$!" and then proceed to ask how you can use it with your
Winmodem??????
