I do not critisize winXP. In fact i believe that they are the best windows version ever. Its just that their problems came from a very simple factor. If they runned on standard configuration machines without the open-architecture of the PCs they would be without any problems. But they are not. They run on PCs with 1.000.000 ( and maybe more :P ) different configurations ( software and hardware ). So it is expected that they will have problems. Problems with certain hardware, problems with certain software. Anyway. I suppose we got a bit off topic
