I agree with you.  Same could be said for Windows 98 and DOS.

Your soundcard to me sounds like an Ultagravis.  Am I right?

You know that a lot of apps that won't run on XP will run on 98, and
also with wine.  I was seriously thinking of putting 98 in a VM and
running it so I can run Newsleecher.  I wish there was such a program
for Linux, but I have yet to find anything even close.  Of course it's
not that big of deal since I can use binsearch.info and hellanzb to do
everything, but sometimes I miss things because I overlook them on
binsearch.  Boy is this off-topic.
