While Microsoft has released new operating software, software bloat and decreased quality control is very apparent! TexSys Computers highly recommends that you choose Windows98se for most of your computing needs. If you are adventurous and care to have much more control over your system, you might want to explore Linux.    In all of our attempts to evaluate WindowsMe, TexSys Computers engineers have been unsuccessful in developing a reliable system configuration. In light of our findings and the 84,000 plus problems already noted by Microsoft, TexSys Computers strongly advises against purchasing or installing WindowsMe.    Similarily, WindowsXP unduly invades the user's privacy and has unreasonable system requirements; TexSys Computers also strongly advises against purchasing or installing WindowsXP or its Service Packs!
