Freija Crescent's Journal: WindowsXP Administration (not MS Bashing)

I run linux.
Yay me!
My friend doesn't.
He runs XP.

My friend doesn't use IRC too well.
He keeps losing connection.
He blames hackers and nukers.
I pity him.

Close your ports I say.
Alas he cannot...
For having scoured the web for weeks
Found info, he has not.

Once I found my self in his place
Before the PlaySkool distro of windows
That was installed on his PC
And I myself was lost.

Looked hard, I did, through various files.
Through the registry, and services, and the like.
Control Panel having deceived me, alas I surrendered
XP had defeated my little hacker brain.

As a last resort, I bring my troubles here
For many great minds flock to Slashdot
Perhaps you have some knowledge to share
Because XP developers smoked too much pot.
