Windows XP FIX, IS IT TRUE

I was told by someone that they fixed the game problems with Windows XP, by deleting the windows directory, deleteing msdos. sys and all of those that are in C:\ then install DOS, then immediately install Windows XP after that.

Yes, but while that other post is funny in retrospect, at the time it just made a lot of people angry/annoyed with you...

It does not sound logical since WinXP does not upgrade from dos!!! it formats the drive as far as i know.
Also how can you install dos on a P3, 4 or an athlon XP with 256MB+???
 
Well I don't care anyway so forget it!

Ah - You were not present during the original version of this thread
Worry not, it's BS and the original poster of the original thread became annoying with his insistance even though he found it extremely funny.

DOS installs fine on any X86 computer and with FreeDOS it supports all of the memory in your computer. (MS-DOS only supports 64MB).

Muahahah. I love reading that thread. Every time I get bored on the 'net I go back and re-read. The only bad thing about it is that I'm not an outright funny poster so my posts are funny in a not so obvious way. I want to be an obviously funny poster dangit!

I sometimes wonder, if all those messages are going to survive on the net somehow and for how long? Wjat would an true AI make of all those in say 50 years or so. would it become addicted to those msg's like we do? Or what would people think of threads like favorite drink or would they think the pictures we put on that other thread are real???
