I can see you're upset but I don't think you have *any* room to
criticize other's use of English (or spelling or punctuation) based on
your post.

No, you do not have to buy XP Professional, you can just buy X64 or you
can stay with XP Home, it works very nicely on 64 bit machines.

It's not a service pack, it's a completely different operating system.
When you upgraded from Windows 58 they didn't give you XP home for free
did they?

See above, you do not have to spend ANY money to use your new
processor, it will work with XP Home and work very well.

I hope you'll be happy with Linux, you might want to try the Mandrake
64 bit distro, it works very well for me and you can get it for free.

What typo? Didn't you run Windows 58? I upgraded my Windows 49 to 58
right after it was released in late 1958 and was pretty happy with it.

Of course, when Windows 62 came along it pretty much obsoleted the
earlier versions....

May I ask what you do for a living? I'd very much like to get a couple
years of your labour for free.

Joe,

Can you put a V-8 in my 4 cyl car (for free) ?
I would like that very much.
( I could also use some more rooms added onto my house)

David, psssst .... This is universe 701a-b/39a-2z_12. So, Windows didn't
come out here until the mid 1980's. You need to set your quizdoflunder to
1/2 quarks. ROFLOL

Would you really want someone with this IQ working for you, even for free?
You would loose ground.

HIs IQ is not really that important. But, you might consider hiding your
valuables, as someone might think they should be free? ROFLOL
