operating systems

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I recently purchased a new motherboard and processor, my case is a large
tower with expansion and upgrade written all over it, and software for an
operating system called "Linspire" came with it. Ihad already purchased XP
Home at $340!!! after taxes, so obiviously I am not going to take a chance
with my new system, but I have another smaller, slower, older, HDD than my
new 80GB, I want to check this operating system out, but am afraid something
might corrupt my system. you would think this "Linspire" operating would be
fine since it came with my motherboard. But it could change setings on my
motherboard, couldn't it
--
any suggestions, help, and pure fanasty will be indulged. THANK YOU

Hello,

Linspre will not get corrupted, its just a diffrent kind of operating
system, much like the MAC operating system. it can do most of the things
windows can. Since you have XP you can just install it onto you computer
getting rid of Linspire. its really just a personal preference. Or you can
do what you said and use you old hard drive to play with xp. if you do that
nothing will happen to Linspire. It will remained completely in tact.

There is another coupon that is current. It is called deviant9. The download
package is 545 MBs, so you had better have broadband. It took about 35
minutes to download it to my broadband (cable) system.

They keep changing the "coupon" code, but it seems that there's always one
active.
