(You're being paid by MS, right?)
Most of my old hard/software that I've installed, as well as a large amount of my NEW hard/software, just loves to crash my system.
I've seen the TaskBar not respond! I've seen MyComputer not respond!
I more than once "XPerienced" a program crash so hard that I had to FORCE POWER OFF the computer (hold the power button). I could get out to a partially redrawn DeskTop and could move the mouse cursor, but no matter what keys I pressed or what areas of the screen I clicked, WinXP wouldn't allow me to interact with it.
Does anybody need a OS that randomly reboots itself when you hot swap USB?
It looks nice, I'll give it that. But the fact is, I spend more time looking for updated drivers and cursing at XP than I do actually using the @#$% thing!
Call me an old fashioned tech, but I have always hated how "helpful" MS products always try to be--and how utterly they fail at it! XP only gets on my nerves when it keeps asking me the same question that I've answered over and over again.
Save your money. Microsoft has not created anything close to the perfect OS!!!! At least mine reboots quickly!
