XP is the most stable OS I've used. It took me about an hour and a half to pop it in fresh.
Common misconception: XP is not compatible with everything.
Not everything, not even close. If you have a program that ran in 98 and won't run in XP, run it in compatibility mode. Voila. Fixed. As far as hardware goes, the reason alot of hardware isn't XP compliant yet is because the manufacturers are too effin' lazy to write drivers. The repair console feature is nice too.

an excellent thing about win xp pro is that the driver database is HUGE all the drivers for my things are built in so i can ditch all my driver cd's now 
XP pro took me about 40mins to install from a network on a 1.9Ghz with 1Gb ram. (clean install)

XP isnt compatable with a lot of things! M$ sux! dont do it! use RedHat Linux! thats one of the best OS's there is! oh and does anyone know how to run AOL on redhat linux? |
I myself am quite fond of 2kpro. I had xp installed on a box here for about 2 months screwing with it. Its acceptable once you remove the fisher-price theme and all the other aol-esque features. I just have no reason to upgrade, 2kpro fills my needs.

well for once i wouldn't listen to a person saying RedHat is the the best OS and who runs AOL. XP is microsoft's best operating system and it is compatible with almost everything and anything (software wise). most poeple start yelling that XP sucks and that it's buggy and it crashes, it has never crashed on me since RC1, back when it was still codenamed whistler. i think for most users who bitch and whine about XP a problem resides somewhere between a chair and a keyboard. and if your pressario or pavilion keep crashing with XP home edition when you try to watch porn, well get a decent computer!

common error msgs at work:
ID-10T
Carbon Based User Error
RTFM
Usually, these faults are the result of some WOT, or in extreme cases TWOT.
