I have had less problems with XP than any other Microsoft OS
It's extremely stable.
It still has problems though.

I had the problem that there weren't any really good driver for my Aureal 8830 based
soundcard .. until Windows XP .. it's included driver rocks.
Win XP has really excellent driver support .. and for lots of older hardware too.

There are negative points to it ofcourse .. I can spot several places that could neeed
improvement... but overall i'd say it's the best OS to come out of Microsoft yet.

>Michael, still Win95

Win95 is still a good system .. if I was to run a M$ OS on a slow PC it would probably be
Win95 or Win98se (trimmed by 98lite and with the win95 explorer)
