yeah, all the extra GUI eye-candy makes it a little slower at first, but once you configure it to the way you like it(and you cant tell me you dont make any changes to a default Gnome/KDE/insert ANY Linux WM/GUI here) it is MUCH faster than Win2k. my problem with it is Media Player 8 and IE6....THIS is what slows down XP so much!
after using XP Pro(corp edition...the one that DOESNT require activation codes:) for a couple of weeks now, I have to admit it is damn good! it is much faster than any previous M$ OS(POST -> desktop in a whopping 45 seconds on a PIII 600).
my only complaint is the sheer number of damn GUI's you have to go through to change ANYTHING! also, IE 6 could possibly be the slowest browser M$ has created thus-far...clunk clunk clunk . . .
