What are you smokin'? Windows XP runs like a DREAM, and I love the silvery sleek look. I especially like how I can change my background, so now I've got a nice beach and stuff. Everything is smooth, and I haven't experiened any problems. The password is just an option, which I have opted to decline, and it makes it very easy for me to go about MY desktop without ruining my dad's settings, (which are REALLY bad). I can manage my desktop without interferring with him, and visa-versa. I don't see the little pop-up boxes a nuisance, in fact, they ahve saved me from doing many stupid things, which I am grateful for. I don't see what you're complaining about, but oh well. You're entitled to your opinion. And what's kind of funny is that most of the people who have taken this poll have liked XP. Sucks to be you!
