Earlier today I loaded up the Microsoft’s Windows XP Expert Zone Chat Room in Internet Explorer 7 as I wanted too see how well IE7 worked with it in time of response etc.<\/p>\n

Anyway it worked pretty much ok, no surprise there though after all IE7 is made by Microsoft and the Windows XP Expert Zone Chat Room is hosted on Microsoft’s site so there’s not going to be any compatibility issues are there now!<\/p>\n

After a while I thought there’s no point in me having the window open anymore so I was about to close it but then I thought to myself why not help some people out with their problems after all I’m not doing much at the moment, so that what I did, but after a while it became apparent that some people just loved to be either stupid or play pranks on others, here’s a sample of what I saw, not all bad though!<\/p>\n

What you have just seen is only a sample of what happened in the Chat, as you can see the discussions range from Birthdays to Linux, actually Linux seemed to pop up quite a lot all the time, makes you wonder if Linux\u00a0Fans purposely some into the chat to cause trouble, just like our friend Jack who was trying to impersonate a member Microsoft Member of Staff but left after people started calling him names!<\/p>\n
