Nah, I'm not bashing XP. I just personally don't use it b/c I had some annoying issues with it when I first installed it, so now I'm back to 2000. (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?)

I couldn't get my printer to work no matter what drivers I used. Then, using my mfg's video drivers would routinely crash XP and using MS drivers wasn't fast at all. Does it make sense to me? No, but 2000 is just fine until we see a WinXP SP1 or something. :)

WINXP IS GARBAGE

I don't quite understand how many people say that. XP has been rock solid ever since I purchased it.

The problems arise from user error not OS error. Not a single crash for me and I own a particularly troublesome system.

No problems at all.

haha, xp is great, you guys are complete dorks if you think your the only one that can't get it to work. And yes winxp can crash allot, microsoft did a good job of hiding it and making it a really quick process, ever have you icons on your desktop or have your tool bar at the bottom dissappear and then come back seconds later, or sometimes minutes, well you just crashed, winxp just hides it and does a better job, thats one benefit thats already good about xp;)

i have not explored xp too much but like the menu which pops up when you press ctl+alt+del. and of course it loads faster.

but all in all, i would stick with 98 and 2000 because i have had many compatibility problems with drivers on xp

i have to admit, os X is pretty sweet but i haven't played with it too much but find linix a load of fun. Not with partitions though

I have no problems with XP at all, and I prefer it from all the win9X versions. After a week of using XP i went back to 2k, not because of XP itself, I just didn't know how to configure XP properly Mainly I didn't like how everything was shifted around, it was being more of a hassle then anything else. The one day, I saw a site, it was for style XP. For me, thats the only thing that XP has over win2k, the was you can setup your theme.

:D
