I have to agree, it is the worst one that they have ever released.

True.

1. XP is far more stable than ME, which was in my opionion the worst operating system microsoft have relaesed so far.

2. You can customise XP to look like '98 or ME

3. You've never tried XP have you?

you can change the look of it in appearances on the display menu to make all the windows and the start bar look like the old windows version.

That is true to a certain extent. But it is just a better more stable operating system, and it is easier to use. Stupid chimps could use Mac OS.

Even having more software wouldn't make much of a difference.

I have a cousin who worked in the OS department at Apple.

But MAC OS works so well because there is a more limited version of applications/software/hardware/drivers for it, and a smaller user base, plus Mac Users, by it's beardy nature, are more likely to have knowledge of computers and can prevent problems before they occur. Chimps can use Windows OS, which is the problem....

I've never actually used anything Mac-wise.
I'd like to, to be honest, as I've no idea what they're like.

I've used an old one before.
*Very* old one.

Thing is, it'd take a while to get used to the thing, after being so accustomed to the Windows layout, with the Start button etc,

I've had XP for about 4 months and I much prefer it to previous Windows versions.
