11/20   What kind of Windows and Office were sold on the market between
        2/18/1995 and 12/15/2001? I'm asking because I'm filling out the
        M$ claim form and I don't want to put anything that is wrong, like
        adding WinXP or OfficeXP when it wasn't out in 12/15/01. Thanks.
        \_ I bought Windows 3.1 (retail ~$100), Word/Excel 6 (retail ~$120) both
           in early 1995.
           \_ are you sure about that?  Windows 95 was retailed at $80-$88
              at the time.  I remember this because it was the only legit
              MS copy I ever purchased, and I bought it at 10% of the retail
              price because my friend got it at for me at employer's
              discount.
                        -ashamed to admit that I once actually purchased M$
                         product.
        \_ 95,98,nt,2k, and maybe ME.  word95,97,2k and maybe others.
        \_ So you didn't actually buy any Windows or Office during that time
           but you're just filling out the form to get money from M$?  Cool!
        \_ xp was definitely out in 2001. my laptop from 11/2001 came with
           a copy preinstalled.

5/21    Is it worth buying a new wintel PC right now or should I wait until
        the Pentium4/Athlon prices drop more? I looking into buying a 1GHz
        Pentium3 or similar system, I just went and configured a Dell Dimension
        with 933MHz CPU, 256MB RAM (SDRAM) 32MB GeForce2. No monitor, with
        RedHat Linux, no windows. Came out at like $985
        \_ Sounds about right, you can probably save $100 or $200 if you
