So I got this new operating system thing and it has actually cured my PC of some of the crap which was crashing it before.

It looks all colourful and friendly but what it doesn't tell you on the back of the box is that it hurts your eyes.

*itches eyes*

I don't kid either, stare at this screen for a few hours and you'll go mental.

Erm, so what I wanted to ask was what cool things they got on this which I can't find? And also how can I move that big green start button in the corner? It just don't go man...

lol, I remember going to Live 2001, They had a huge arena of PC's with Windows XP on.

We was the first in the UK to sample the new OS, i must say it was and is immpressive.

Ya, mines Silver at the moment because the Blue hurts my eyes even more and the Olive Green makes me feel like a hippy.

The start buttons so big, it's like screaming out "CLICK MEEEEE" or something.

I don't mind it myself, but right-click on your desktop and select Properties... click on the Appearance tab and look at the bottom-left for Color Scheme. You can change it to Silver (but the green button still remains) or Olive (which means the button doesn't look quite so odd).
