Just wanted to hop in this heated discussion. There are many thing about xp that i hate, but i do have to say that it is the best desktop os that microsoft has put out yet. That is of course after you disable all the new "xp look" and get back to the classic windows os.

One thing that is pretty annoying, i went through the disk clean up wizard, click advanced and deleted all my very very old restore points. This freed up around 4gb of space. I was glad to have the space, but it should even be taking up that much space to begin with.

Something i like about xp is i can have a million things open, and leave my computer running for weeks, and still be able to open up battlefield or unreal and have excellent fps.

Task bar grouping in the power toys is great, i group all program with 2 or more instances open at once.

When i do startup or shut down, it takes less than 10 seconds. Very Nice!

Well, those are just a few thoughts on the os I’ve run on this computer for over a year now with any major problems.
