'Cos XP is sh1te...?
Not only does it have a fugly interface, it also runs dog slow even on good hardware, and it's persistent mollycodling is perhaps the most irritating thing since that fscking paperclip.
We just got an XP box in at work, and after a week of using it myself and the entire staff agreed it shuld be reformatted for Win2k, which in our experience is also far more stable than XP home at least.
And don't even think of getting me started in the whole product registration bollocks. XP is the forerunner to Palladium, and it's there to get you all used to running your computer how MS says you should run it, rather than how you want to run it.
Win2k will be the last Windoze I ever buy, and with any luck I'll never have to use anything other than that either.
