I was asked to clean up a computer for a friend (the usual re-format start from scratch sort of thing).... and the machine happens to be running XP....
I've played with it a bit - but seeing as its only a glorified version of 2000 - i've never bothered to upgrade on my own system.
And thank god. The XP user interface drives me absolutely bonkers... I know you can turn it off (and lord knows I would if I ever bothered installing it on my own machine)... The UI is klunky- non intuitive (for the experienced windows user) - and its slow... even on this machine running a 2.something Ghz processor.
Gosh - I can't wait for the next 3D version of windows set to come out in 2007... It will apparently require a top of the line graphics card and DirectX9 just to display the GUI. Talk about collusion between software and hardware vendors.
