What problems are people having with XP? I hear rumors about these "horror stories" but I never actually hear the horror stories themselves. I'm a computer technician, and everyone I know who has XP is very happy with it. I personally have XP installed on 3 different machines and I love it. It's so much more stable than the other windows OS's, I can't hardly make it crash if I try. It's driver database is so expansive that nearly every piece of hardware you put into the machine gets auto-detected within seconds, often you don't even have to install any additional drivers. For people like myself who tend to upgrade fairly frequently or just prefer a hard-drive wipe once or twice a year to keep things running smoothly, it's SO much easier to get everything back up and running. I remember using Win98 and spending 4 hours reinstalling drivers while hopping back and forth between safe mode. Now THAT'S a horror story!! :)
