	Phil's Blogservations Friday, February 14, 2003 Posted by philgomes 4:48 PM When Microsoft Becomes A Media Company: There's an article on MSN's bCentral entitled "3 signs you need a new computer." Not surprisingly, answer Number 3 is "Your computer won't handle Windows XP or certain software applications." However, Windows XP takes reliability to a whole new level. I would argue that it is necessary if you're using Windows ME, 98 or 95. Those operating systems were based on DOS, and are much more crash-prone than XP. If you're thinking of moving up, I'd encourage you to do so. Helluva way to sell more OS licenses. If someone runs out and decides to buy another computer based on this and other information in this article, it's highly unlikely that it will come without an OS. Not crying foul. Just raising a red flag.
