Been thinking of upgrading to it on the other computer to check it out. I know the beta was buggy like crazy. So have been holding off a bit to see. :cool:
Yeh...the Beta version was very buggy, removed it after a couple of hours, but have been running the CR for about 5 weeks without problem...also downloaded for each of my boy's computers.
I'm not sure why everybody feels the need to attack Bill Gates. No one has done more for personal computing than he has, including investing $150 Million in Apple to keep them out of bankruptcy. Like it or not, MS operating systems power 94% of the market...and while Apple has seen a 16% decline in computer sales since last October, the PC platform has seen a 22% increase.
While Firefox is used by quite a few, Chrome usage is less than 4% of the PC users.
If there is a better OS than Microsoft that will make the PC platform run better, then why has virtually everything else failed to storm the market? OS2 went nowhere, Xenix and Linux are failures and even the highly touted, absolutely free, Ubunto is going nowhere.
If Apple/Macintosh is so great, then why haven't they developed an OS for the PC platform?...instead they are building their computers to run the Microsoft operating systems...go figure!
