I have been using XP for a few months now, and all I can say is WOW, M$ seemed to do a great job this time. I would rate XP as one of the best OS's I have used. They spent a lot of time and did not forget the small detail. The first time I loaded it the screen res was actually usable. It detected the video card and the monitor then set all the setting to optimal. It is stable as can be to, have not had one hang or need to reboot for months. I have also found that almost all software will run on it. Even old win 95 apps that would not on 2000.
