Problems with XP:

1. It phones home; to Redmond that is.

2. Make sure Automatic Update is turned off: XP loves to update any time it pleases, especially if you are in the middle of some memory hogging job; then, XP wants to install the update with no notice whatsoever.

3. Set your Page File (Virtual Memory) to the maximum allowable. What is the maximum? That depends upon your disk size and how much memory you have. XP will not allow you to go over the maximum, so set it really high like 50Megs or so, and it will report back what the maximum is when you click Apply.

4. Since before Windows 95 all Windows Platforms are junk! They keep offering patches, but each subsequent platform (IE. W-98, W-2000, W-ME, ...et nauseum)is nothing more than the last version with a new condom over the old patches. (Remember Windows 98 crashing live on MS-NBC when Billy unveiled it? Beware of Karma rich man!)

Don't worry, your not the only oner with freak problems. Rhino only crashes on me and a handful of other users of W-XP, and we all have Dell's. Yep, I got hozed by Dell too! I think they paid someone off for their award winnings from JD Powers!

I'm still waiting for software vendors to make the big switch to Linux so we can end all these problems with SPAM and Virus's. NO platform is secure when it is allowed to phone home to it's vendor with you IP address and under the End User Agreement, Redmond can disable any piece of software they choose! That is those that didn't pay Billy his extortion fee!
