Thankfully, XP Pro was built with the option to disable some of the crap (and you can get rid of some more of it with knowledgable tweaking of services and resources).  I have 3GB (actually 4GB, but 1GB is never seen) and actually have 2.78GB on startup.  This isn't bad considering NAV and DOpus are running at startup.'

Windows ME - shudder.  The worst OS besides one that I wrote in DOS many years back.  No, wait.  Mine actually worked even as skeletal as it was. ;)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
