What kind of a question is that? Bloat is a unidirectional monster. It has a diode on it so it can't go backwards. I thought you knew that.
Ah, "Bloat's arrow"

Is Windows 7's support that much worse than 2000/XP? For a lot of the things I need to do, I find that only Windows 95/98 can really handle it.
That's a "feature" I've been using on my RH7.3 box for over a decade. Resistance is futile you will be assimilated!!
I don't think its much bigger than windows/7. Not sure I like the multiple desktop support which allows you to have several "desktops" and rotate between them, and the metro apps ....
.. I kind of miss the "move the cursor to the top right to move round"..

You know it's just a matter of time. First it was the 8 inch, then the 5 1/4 now it's the 3 1/2 and the optical drives. Will the magnetic hard drive be far behind? PATA drives are disappearing.
Latest build restored floppy support.
Both legacy and USB?
Well I downloaded and installed the Win 10 Technical preview X86 version and found out to my dismay that Floppy drive support has been dropped! Not only the internal drive connected to the mainboard but also USB floppy support. Could be a deal killer for anyone who may be thinking of upgrading to it. But then it could be added before the final release. Let's hope so.
