wow I really started something here, I didn't want to start a war, I've used macs before and loved every minute of it, but I've been using pc's for 12 years now and most of the time it's fun, a friend has XP home and it's a real step backwards from what I've seen, very unstable and quirky so far, but it's only just been released, I had win95 and 98 on day 1 and both were a real pain to start with, now with the machine I've got I'm running win98SE and it pretty much stable unless I touch something I shouldn't, which is what I do anyway. I only asked because I want to get the best out of poser, I didn't think it would cause world war 3 to start
