Here is my summary...
Pros:
- great driver support
- nice look
- user friendly
- pppoe support out the box! DSL user rejoice!
- NT stability
Cons:
- Just be an OS not a do everything OS... ie cd-writing support
- my fav apps don't work! CDRwin 4.0a... keep getting media error!?! Also can't use NAV 7.5 CE!
- large install size... memory hog!
- Not as stable at 2000 for me... don't know why... keeps crashing at 1000 Mhz on my Duron 750... 2000 is stable at 1000 Mhz
Conclusion:
Lets see... I can't use my fav apps... my proc is not stable at 1000 Mhz... hmmm... let's just say i'm in "love" with DriveImage Pro 4... another app that won't work with XP.
Tip:
Even though i sound negative about XP, don't get me wrong... it's is an awesome OS with the right hardware and software. It just isn't for me.
