More “non-problems” with Windows XP…
In the “Bugs and Fixes” section September issue of PC World, Microsoft once again claims that another XP problem is not a problem. This one has to do with trying to print from a parallel port using XP or 2000. When you do, applications other than the one you’re trying to print from may hang. MS has no plans to fix this, just like it has no plans to fix the speed hits many people were (and are) getting from XP’s Service Pack 1.
Once again, I am SO happy I only use Windows for gaming and watching TV!
By the way, the new Office (for Windows) is out…
Years ago, I bought Office 2000 Professional. Office 2003 is coming out, excuse me, Office 2003 System is coming out at its usual inflated prices. (If I truly wanted to upgrade, it would cost me $329 for the Professional version.) Not sure about you, but as a home and small business user, I didn’t see any good reason to upgrade to Office XP (I do have some copies of Word XP but only one of them is used) and surely don’t see any reason to upgrade to Office 2003. MS’s pricing is squeezing out the little guy, anyway. There won’t be a “standard” version of this office you can get without buying a PC…
