XP seems ok. I managed to crash it by listening to a song and playing Spider Solitaire. On the other hand, it does seem to be less error prone overall. I'm still happy with 98, though. Well...if not happy, then not yet inspired to upgrade, downgrade, or transgrade.

No-one really needs to upgrade their OS unless they are hyper-super computer nerds. Or unless their OS is about 6 years old. By the time that most people find their OS is useless for running new stuff, they'll also find their computer is pretty much useless for running new stuff. People with the first edition of Win 95 can't be having much fun nowadays.

I'm on XP as well, basically because ME sucks and let my computer crash every twenty minutes. It seems to be working really well (haven't had a BSOD in a month!), despite some initial driver problems with my Pinnacle capture card and the HP PrecisionScan software. Both have already been updated, so everthing is working correct.
I was especially pleased with how XP maintained all my ME settings, so I didn't have to struggle with networks and Internet.
The blue takes some getting used to. At first it looks an awful lot like some cheap Sim game, but I must admit that I quite like it now.
One tip: DO NOT USE MSN EXPLORER! OH MY GOD! That program is HORRIBLE. It's like Internet-For-Complete-Dimwits. Gigantic toolbars, terrifying pastel-colors and a sickening amount of MSN Hotmail tie-ins.

I have XP Professional. I like it. The default XP settings suck, but you can switch to classic windows if you want. I like the XP Silver theme myself.

XP doesn't seem all that bad. The major plus for me was when I loaded it up and found that I could tri-boot between 98, 2000 and XP.
I haven't really done much with it. Not much I can do, really. I haven't tried to get any of my hardware running yet. I plan to buy a new scanner, I'm getting new software for my burner, and I think I have everything I need for my video card to work.
Okay, now here's a question for you. Somehow MSN Explorer got set as the Internet and Email program at the top left of the Start menu thinger. How do I set those back to IE and OE respectively?
