Microsoft

Whats up with Microsoft's updates? I use XP for games, but make sure to keep it updated for the latest security patches, with it being a "swiss cheese" OS. After the last update my start page will come up with no icons, and no taskbar. Have to do a reboot. BSOD's are more common, and I get a message that windows explorer has encountered a problem and must close. Never had any of these problems before the last update. Computer is about 6 months old and does get a lot of use, but I could run 98SE for about a year before doing a format and re-install. Looks like I may have to do it with XP after 6 months. start up and shut down have slowed to a crawl and a lot of applications take a long time to open. My Linux partition is the same age and it is still as fast as the day it was installed. Of course I realize we are comparing apples and oranges here, a quality OS against a Microsoft product.

Dallas Cowboys VS NY Giants

Well, Dallas done it again! Dallas came to play and the Giants came to win. Offensive line could not protect Romo and the receiver's couldn't hold onto the ball. The one bright spot was Marion Barber,s running the ball. Pitiful performance by a team with a 13 and 3 record, and with opportunities to win the game.
