Microsoft's Jive version of Windows 98 has been leaked to several
suburbs, causing confusion for unsuspecting users.
There are numerous differences between Windows 98 and the Jive
version.
When opening the Jive version, the familiar windows chime is replaced
with a "phat getto track that melts 'em down wit dope-ass bass."
The opening screen features a Windows logo that is spray painted on a
brick wall - along with several gangsta signs, slogans and shout outs.
On the main screen, My Computer is replaced with "Dis My Shit."
The Recycle Bin has been replaced with a Goodwill dumpster.
If users are logged on to a network, the Network Neighborhood is
replaced with "Da Hood."
Users have their choice of two animated screen savers "Marquee," a
lil' G spray painting dirty words that move across the screen; "Flying
Bullets," a '64 Olds' loaded with gangstas doing a desktop drive by.
Users of the Jive version will notice several command and dialogue box
changes:
1. Break Back In = Re-entry
2. Aww Shit, = Error
3. U Betta Recognize = Delete
4. Itz All Good = OK
5. 4 Real Doe = Yes
6. Hold Up, Dawg = Cancel
7. Do Dat Shit Again = Reset
8. R U Crazy = Are You Sure
9. Hunt Dat Bitch Down = Find
10. Put A Cap In It = Delete
11. Games & Shit = Programs
12. Letter Shit = Documents
The Jive version comes standard with a special edition of Microsoft
Works titled "Homie Essentials." The word processing program greatly
differs from the main-stream program. Several words on the title bar
have been changed:
1. Dat Thang = File
2. I Be Seein' It = View
3. Put Sumpin In = Insert
4. Hook It Up = Format
5. Stuff I Ain't gone Need =Tools
6. Number Shit = Table
7. Break In = Window
8. What Da =DD$*? = Help
Note: "Stuff I ain't gone need" (Tools) does not include spelling or
grammar check options. And Auto Correct has been replaced with
Keepin' it Real.
