Doesn't XP have an inbuilt un-zipper?

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

How do you get around the 2 gig partition limit for 98.

When I ran it, I couldn't see 90% of my hard drive.

Maybe he has less than 2 gigs ;)

On mine I subdivided my hard drive into 20 gigs, 500 megs, and 60 gigs.  Each partition has its own OS.

That way, when I break one, I can just run the other for a while till hell freezes over.

wasn't that a limitation of win95?
or perhaps win98 release 1?
I know I upgraded to win 98 to be able to use USB way back when ...
and at the same time I went to a 20gig hd and had no problem
partitioning into 6gig partitions.
btw ... I am a big fan of partitioning ...
keeping the OS partition separate from data partitions ...
and on win 98, I force my temp internet files and swap files to
a small 500MB partition ...
this keeps these two from fragmenting the C: drive and makes for
quick and easy (and less frequent need) defragging of the C:
and seeing as I have a boot partition and os on more than one HD ...
if one goes out on me ... I simply boot from the other and all my
data partitions are still there ... no problem.
 
I still run win98 on my old desktop ... and prefer it to my laptop XP ...
but what are ya goin' do?
well ... go linux. ;)
something I have been meaning to do but haven't commited to yet.
perhaps make the old desktop a linux box soon.
and of course, we gots to get DB to run on linux as well. ;)

check out Puppy Linux:

carry your OS around on a bootable CD/Flash/USB Keydrive.

Part of he beauty of porting it to C++ is that theoretically it would become cross platform.

I've never actually coded anything for another OS, so I have no idea how cross platform my code really is.  But I've read some books on cross platform, and what to do/not do to kep it cross platform, and I think 95% of the code will be perfectly cross platformable.

lol, I doubt that's a word.
