Re: XP is garbage

LOL, my Sony Viao is running perfectly on Windows XP Pro.

Never crashes, never "beeps and boops". I do have a Win2K box at work,
which has is also very good, but I prefer XP as the mouse wheel does work
better. Of all the Operating systems that I've used Windows XP is the best
OS that I've seen to date. Win95,98 and ME needed to be re-built every six
months, Windows NT 4 once a year, Windows 2K works well, but there are
issues which are down to it's age more than anything else.

I'm still keeping an eye on Linux, but I don't think that it's quite got the
ease of use bit sorted out properly. I can't see it being a serious
contender for Windows for a while yet, but it is improving.
