Hardware support in XP sucks.
I've got a gamepad here which works fine in Linux and doesn't have XP drivers.
My Voodoo cards also do not work correctly with XP. With Linux they work fine.

The word XP should be struck from the dictionaries never in twenty five years of running a computer have I had so much trouble, just trying to install the dam program is a bitch, but nothing to the hell it is trying to install drivers programs etc! if you can get them to work, all I have had is grief so I have installed a second hard drive and loaded Linux, time will tell

Hell, i just think XP is great (xept the driver thingie). You guys just have a prob with Microsoft (And hey, i do to), but i think XP is just great. My brother installed linux and he din't even now how to acces his CDROM drive until he searcherd for 2(!) days on the net.(mount /mnt/cdrom). So i say, fuck M$, but XP is just great!!!!!!!!

I think, I understand now! He thinks XP is just great!! well, I think XP just sux!! Uglyst thing I have seen since win 3.1, is Bloatware, and is designed to capture the user and his computing experience in a little M$ coated cage, were they will feed you M$ kibble and bleed your wallet for the rest of your life.

Have fun!

after a quick flurry with BASIC andC while at school, i have used windows and MacOS for years and i have to say that linux is INCREDIBLY daunting. I have a mate who runs linux, and it's frustrating to see how much power he has at his fingertips compared with the repetitive drag and drop, it might not work type environment i use in windows, BUT put me in front of a BASH prompt and i'll freeze up!
all windows and MacOS have done for me is dumb me down to the point where i'm almost too daunted to imagine using anything else. And i think i speak for a lot of people.
If i had started with linux, i would be able (but not willing!) to use windows easily, but it doesn't work the other way around.

I don't know what you people are complaining about. I installed XP on my system this morning with no trouble at all (pop in the disc, click "I Accept", enter the registration number, connect to the internet. You are automatically taken to the MS site, click "Yes", click "Yes", Click "Yes") XP over writes the existing O/S and integrates itself with the other programs on your system.

Heh heh!! Good one Gerry... I was about to reply "yes, you got that same easy feeling that cows who are being led to the slaughter house have after being fattened and pampered all their lives", but it wasn't necessary.
