Newbie friendly forum titles

Just a thought. If I was a complete newbie, and was looking for help with my windows XP system, where would I go? Not the Apps and OSes forum, because it clearly doesn't cover XP.

Software applications plus OS's: Win9x, WinNT, Win2k, Linux, BeOS, Unix, and MacOS too.

Maybe TIMO is showing it's age?

Just a thought.

XP is an OS so I'd think it belonged in that section.
But then again, I can't think like a complete newbie.

I don't know. Has there been such a problem that someone doesn't know where that kind of question belongs?

Not that I know of muno.

It was just my mind meandering....

Ignore it if I'm off beam..

Well.. I'm not too sure where to put my threads anyway.
Eg. I have an application that doesn't function, well actually the tcp/ip part of the application doesn't function. To which forum do I put it? Networking/Internet or Applications and os'es?

It's a bit confusing, but I'm sure it's not big a deal to add xp in that list

That's what I figured, muno.

c'mon mickwish, your just jealous that Linux has its own sub forum!!!!

Personally, I agree, splitting the Apps/OS's forum into a tree makes a lot of sense, from the newbie standpoint, but then comes the next question....

Why not simply create a separate section for each OS, kinda like what Linuxiso.org does for each distribution of Linux, here?
That way, the first forum link is Apps and OS's, that opens the Mother of all windows onto MacOS, Win95, Win98, WinNT3.5, WinME, WinNT4, WinXPhome/Pro, Win2k, and so forth.

Are we beating up on the mods or what?!?

What in the world are you talking about Mick??

Thanks for noticing that.

I don't see what he is talking about

Says xp in there,

Does now.

Thanks Surreal, now I feel better for the newbies.
