My new computer arrived yesterday (it came early!) and I am impressed, to say the least, at Windows XP. Possibly due to my new computer being 3X faster than my old one (1800MHZ-600MHZ) and having double the ram (256MB-128MB), but I love this OS so much more than Win 98. The layout is better and it runs a lot smoother than '98.
I do have on qualm with it though. When trying to disconnect from the internet, there's no connection box in the system tray, so I have to manually click "Work Offline", which is quite annoying, so does anyone know how to add the internet into the system tray?
Return to Castle Wolfenstein plays so well on my new computer! On my old one (which was under-specified), it took about 40-50 seconds to load the next level, but it takes 15 at most on the new one! I had a problem with the online play though, which kept coming up with "Connection Failed" during the game. I never had this on my old computer, so I smell a rat.
Overall though, I am thoroughly impressed with it and I hope that Microsoft can build on this with their next OS. Of course, I would love Linux. How much is it and can you tell me some more details?
Thanks in advance.
In Guerrlia Warfare, it's amazing when an arm flies past at high speed!

Linux is totally, utterly, 100% free and looks much nicer than WinXP if you get a good theme. You really should find a Linux guru which you have constant access too (*ahem*), because Linux is *very* hard to use. Actually, the fact that it's hard to use is one of its best features. You really get a sense of achievement when you wake up one day realise your system is working 100%.
