Outcasted by the version of Windows I run
I have just realised that in Chez Student, I am the only person who still runs Windows XP on any of my machines.  I have just reinstalled WIndows XP Professional on my Ergo Ensis removing the Windows Media Center/Ubuntu 7.10 setup I had before.  My MacBook also runs Windows XP Pro under Parallels and also as a stand-alone OS.  Everyone else in this house runs Windows Vista on their laptops, apart from one very sensible housemate that runs Mac OS 10.4.11 on her G4 PowerBook.  I like being the only one who runs XP.  Personally however, I do like Mac OS 10.5.2, which is the primary OS on my MacBook.  I like how you can plug in anything and it will work.  I was at my friend's yesterday.  I plugged in my Nokia N95 and it worked straightaway as a modem.  All I had to do was to enter the phone number to dial onto the 3G/GPRS network, and the APN for the network - an option that Windows doesn't have by default, and then I was online thanks to my new unlimited data plan courtesy of Vodafone.  Very impressed
