From Linux To Windows XP November 6th, 2007

I have been using Windows XP full time for two weeks. It’s been so long time since I was Windows XP full time user. Maybe it has been four years. I have to tell you again that I am forced to use Windows XP because Linux does not support HSDPA USB Modem ZTE MF620. Somebody will say it’s my fault that I bought unsupported hardware. But sometimes you just don’t have luxury of choice. I move to a new place. I live in apartment which does not have internet connection. So you must find it from outside. The only practical solution is to use 3.5G wireless internet connection. Using cable based internet connection is not practical because I plan to move from this apartment. Using cable based internet connection means long term customer. Using parabola based internet is semi-practical. I don’t feel safe to put the parabola outside apartment. You can not move parabola as you like. Using 3.5G wireless internet connection only needs a small modem. Just plug to your computer then you can surf. It’s the most practical solution at this time with my condition. The only provider for this connection gave me the unsupported modem in Linux. Very nice.
