I noticed :-)

*says this just as a window pops up from Windows update saying a security pack has been downloaded, installed, and now my PC needs to restart*

Damn.

I have also found it stable. However isn't this what MacOS 8 or even 7 was? Stable. Microsoft haven't done much in XP except copied what MacOSX had already created, and even then you need 90mb so far of downloads to apparently make it more secure... even though most of these addons are just to monitor what software etc you register and use.

XP is indeed a brilliant operating system. Mine has only crashed once, and I'm sure that was because of rubbish software. So far, I've also had very few of those annoying 'Windows needs to restart' messages.

Excellent.

I also managed to get the full install retail version for £100 cheaper than PC World.

XP is well good, it's so stable, it's your dodgy comp and the stupid person using it that's no good :)

No offence or nuttin but ME does suck, XP is a lot better and i have had it for a while now and nothing has gon wrong with it. Maybe you got a screwed up version or u downloaded a virus or something that made it screw up!

ME is a pile of crap, I've had XP running for weeks, literally, without crashing.

I had very little trouble with ME, but it was largely a stop-gap product, I felt.

I love XP. I've never known a PC so stable since I installed it. There were a lot of complaints from people with older hardware, or so I heard. But personally, in the many months since I upgraded to XP, I've had just one crash - and I'm fairly certain that was caused by an old piece of software I had installed.

Because ME is the biggest pile of crap Microsoft have ever made.

If he's going to downgrade, he might as well go for Win 98. At least people make drivers for it.
