welll... if you will go installing XP...an OS which is actually spyware. Amazing.
And the only time I've played with it I couldn't help wondering why it looked like the UI had been designed by Fisher Price.
I assume you can switch off al that big-colourful-childlike-interface type stuff?

I think I'll just stick with my win 2000 anyway...It works. Which is saying something for a Microsoft OS.

It worksup until the point where it doesn't, and no manner of swearing will bring it back.
This they don't teach you on the MCSE track, then again I did mine in 1997, when winduhs OSs were shite.
<cough>
My last 2k install broke so much nothing could bring it back. Which is a bit of a cunt.

XP AntiSpygets rid of the main problem, and yes you can make your XP look like Win2K again, or even Win95 if you like. I've stripped most of the crap out of mine and just kept some of the good new features, lockable taskbar, the new start menu design, emptied my desktop since it's all on the start menu.
So I have a 2K-like OS that loads quickly, doesn't blue screen when you attempt to run DOS games and actually has one or two good features, such as the XP-only desktop switcher powertoy (which unix has had for years, but this just looks like the 98/2K quicklaunch bar, and the taskbar based media player.
Easy to install, and about half a day to strip away all the crud.
Ultimately my reason for upgrading was that 2K had gone unstable.. turned out this was because one of my PCI cards wasn't in properly and it killed XP too!, fixed it by bending it's blanking plate and stuck with XP.

Both myself and the missusinstalled XP on our machines.
Both myself and the missus had six weeks of corrupt files, incompatable drivers, crashes, hangs and assorted anihummusing.
Both myself and the missus removed XP
Both myself and the missus happy now.

Well,I made sure to check driver compatability beforehand, and had all the new drivers to hand, of course, having previously run Win2K, which I built this system for, XP compatability wasn't really a problem
As for WindowBlinds et.al. I always found that proggy a bit flakey though I haven't used it for years.. I like to remove all that sort of crud and have my computer be simple and fast, rather than slow and pretty.
