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.
