I had trouble getting going on XP at first as it just seemed so foreign, but
its ease of use and user friendliness has me sold. I like that so much is
built in that it does so much automatically for you. I can take my laptop
unhook it from my network, go anywhere else that's networked (my parents, my
sister, etc.) plug it in and it recognizes the configuration and I'm ready
to go with no extra setup. The only computer I haven't changed over to XP
yet is this one I work on at my desk and I just never seem to find a full
day to reformat and install it. Someday.....
