XP is garbage

Every time I plug in my USB flash memory stick, it creates another
desktop icon to my Zip drive.
The size and location of windows associated with removable drives are
not persistant.
Sometimes a drive is present and purports to be working, but isn't
visible anywhere.
The mouse wheel handling is absurd; at least that is fixable.
It beeps and boops all the time, for no good reason.
It's still slow and buggy.
Most all the system setups are still tangled, hidden, and/or don't
work.
All sorts of little balloons keep popping up from the taskbar.
Word is worse than ever. I have a tiff image that absolutely locks it
up if you include it in a doc.
"Help" rarely is.
If you get stuck in the powerup chkdsk loop, all you can do is pray.
The good part is that you'll have lots of time to pray.
You can't screen capture a DOS graphic screen to the clipboard. '98
could.
It's inclined to create funny-named folders that can't be opened and
can't be deleted. Good thing I have a big hard drive.
Seems like every time I run Registry Mechanic is finds a bunch of
problems, sometimes 100 or so. That's scairy.
The three most important things about Windows are still: reboot,
reboot, and reboot.
