The Community Cafe
The Community Chat area is for lighthearted and enjoyable discussions, like you might find around a water cooler at work.

Almost any non-tech-support topic may be discussed here. Discussions on religion and politics are not allowed, except for politics directly related to free and open source issues. Any topic or discussion that causes problems or drama will be closed. This area is intended for fun and community building, not arguments. Please take those elsewhere. Thanks!

Windows 95/98/ME Fanboys? Yes, they do exist.....

Firefox 3.0 will not support Windows 95/98/ME

After reading that announcement, and seeing so many whining Windows 95/98/ME users, I decided to do a bit of googling, and it appears that there are still many many users who refuse to upgrade from their "beloved" Windows 95/98/ME?

They believe it to be way more secure than Windows 2000+ OS's was one arguement I saw, and even more weirdly, they believe it to me much faster and more stable (Yes really!) than any Microsoft operating system since!

The only encouragement I can find from this bizzare form of fanboyism (Its more like Stockholm Syndrom tbh ) is that many are still using Windows 95/98/ME because they are too principled to give Microsoft another red cent.

If the discussions i'm seeing are anything to go by, many of them have been introduced to Ubuntu, and several has affermed their commitment to switch! \o/

So..... heads up community, INCOMING!! \o/

What do you all think about this?

John
