At first I didnt like XP but I really wanted to try something else. Now I have been on it for about a month and I really like it. If your computer is a little older make sure you check out the HCL on MSofts site though to make sure everything will work with XP. Maybey check to make sure your programs are XP compatible also, lots of manufactures released patches to make their programs work but others just want you to upgrade to the new version and give them more money. Thats when I turned to Kazaa Lite.
When I installed XP on my Dell thats a year old my Direct CD burning software wasnt compatible, my Norton AntiVirus 2001 wasnt compatible, and my printer software wasnt compatible. Three pretty important things that I use quite often, werent compatible, and that didnt leave me feeling very happy to start out. However, I traked down some newer and XP compatible versions and now everything has been running pretty darn well.
