MS Plus! for Windows XP.....what a piece of crap

[LostHiWay]

I just installed and unistalled this piece of crap. One question. Why? This thing is gonna cost like $30 bucks when it comes out and all it gives you is some ugly Media Player skins, some themes for XP (but not new color themes..still blue, silver and olive green), a couple screen savers, and a game. Shouldn't most of this stuff be free??

Nah, It won't be free until the next version of Windows comes out...98plus! was available for win98, and then was standard w/ winME. Heck, even win98 on it's own had most of what was in the win95 plus! pack. See the trend here

The plus pack, if you even liked all that garbage, was only worthwhile to purchase if you had Windows 95. After that, like said right before me, most of the features were included in the os to begin with.

I didn't even know they made plus packs anymore, but I guess people will still buy the garbage

buy... heheh, yeah right...

I wouldnt say the XP Plus pack is garbage but I wouldnt pay $30 bucks for it.
The Win95 Plus! pack was good after that they've all been near useless. The XP Plus! pack is at least somewhat better then previous iterations were.

Personally, I find I enjoy using MS's Powertools for XP which is available FREE more then I do using the Plus! additions.

This is a great product! And here I was beginning to think MS no longer cared for the consumer market.
