I was typing a data*** in Word, and it decided at some point to

To Microsoft, Bill Gates, and the entire Word team: you code crap.

Are you just discovering that?

Has anyone installed Win2K over XP... this new XP machine is pure
crap.

My XP isn't too bad. Mandatory reboots are at least a week apart
(unlike 98, daily at best) and boot time is 40 seconds (unlike 2K,
which runs to many minutes.) As garbage goes, it's usable.

My old laptop (ThinkPad A21p) with Win2K crashed maybe five times in as
many years. ITs replacement (ThinkPad T42p crashes pretty much once a
week, despite being five years newer and having 4x the memory.

XP does run a mighty fine DOS box.

Come on! It sucks. My DOSish calculators usually are "out of resources".
That *NEVER* happened under Win2K. XP sucks, though I guess I have to
live with it (and will be buying a personal laptop with it this week, gack).

Win2K has been the *ONLY* version of Windows that could remotely be
referred to as being "stable".
