Keep the fancy stuff, I'll settle for an operating system that works. Sorry for being so negative. I just wiped my drive and upgraded to Windows XP. Now everything works, and everything works faster.

very nice. but MS should spend more resources to create a better OS that doesnt freeze,crash
etc. I have no intention of using a PC on the wall. I still like sitting down at my desk! which goes to show that MS is so desperate to predict the future that it overlooks the present. it is only a matter of time when some lone genius will come up with a better OS. no star lasts for ever!
