The company i'm working installed XP an all machines during Holiday Season. The biggest problem they got was that some older hardware like cheap scanners wont run while there's no driver available for XP. Since then no problem at all, and it's really fast and stable. I'm really not a Microsoft friend, because i worked for a long time at home with NT, just because i had known most of the bugs was eliminated. Then i bough a new comp with Windows98 on it and was to lame to install NT on it. Believe me, i had more then once thinked i was really dumb and a big idiot. Now as i had worked one month with XP, i decided to change to this OS in maybee middle of year. The points for this where the speed, stability and handyness. And hey, all who had a newer CD-Burner from HP should take a look onto the HP-Site. They had some cool Burning-Tools there. Now you can use a ordinary CD-R as a second harddisk and wait to the date it's full for the end-burning.
