Just about all the replys about XP area a load of tosh. I have the Home version and think it's the best operating system ever to come out of Bill's Seattle HQ. Tune in tomorrow to find out why!
i was being serious.
who's harry potter?
I got Xp from my bro. Windows98 was really doing my head in and XP is a refreshing change, but I'm not sure if it is worth all that money for some updated icons.
Windows XP is just another Microsoft flick. There's really nothing that new unless you're into media and things like that.
Harry Potter game for the Playstation is a pile! The graphics hurt my eyes and the gameplay is VERY repetitive. The movie's better!

The following is pasted from another post I made in the Microsoft/Windows forum when someone else asked about XP.
SERIOUSLY...do not buy XP. Not yet anyway.
I haven't actually bought it myself anyway because I never rush out and buy new OS', but have plenty of experiance with it due to helping out a neighbour who's been having problems since getting it.
It is absoloutely MAJORLY bug-ridden. Not neccessarily on first appearance, but there are so many problems with it. For one, a LOT of hardware won't work for it without specialist drivers. That means you have to go out and find them and even then they may not exist. My neighbour spent £300 on a printer/scanner piece of equipment only to get home and find it wouldn't work. I spent 3 hours doing all manner of things and went through every possible way around the problem.
After speaking to technical help, who had no idea what they were talking about, it turns out this particular printer/scanner wasn't compatible with XP, AS IS THE CASE WITH THE MAJORITY OF HARDWARE AVAILABLE! Old hardware regularly crashes and often won't install at all.
If your an Outlook user you won't be able to use Outlook. It installs fine, but upon first opening it crashes with errors and your unable to synchronise with a PDA to bring your old Outlook settings into the system.
I've spoken to various so called 'experts' and in general the case has been "Oh yeah well this won't work..." and "that won't work..." and "well you might want to look at buying a new printer 'cos that should work!"
XP is ridden with problems, and definately isn't worth the money. Wait a while until manufacturers have got to grips with the system and you don't have to buy specialist software designed to work with XP.
