Actually, I'd like an Athlon optimized version of Windows. It'd still be crap, but it would be fast crap.

Obviously not by my long going thread in a MS newsgroup:

Basically I'm having USB and XP problems and the people there say that it's gotta be a hardware problem. Even though the problem doesn't exist in any other OS, even Microsoft ones. They can only suggest buying more hardware... although it was getting this XP that `broke` USB on my PC. They don't understand that `Hardware Problem` == `Broken/Dead Hardware`
