I agree

Someone I know who went to XP called me all stressed out over this SP. I guess the update isn't going well. I asked so in the end what exactly is it you can do with XP that I can't, and was it worth the time, money, and headache you are going though. Yes XP has some little bells that are slightly useful but in the end how much has the productivity gone up in your office?

I guarantee you that nobody is working any faster or better. All you did is spend a lot of money for nothing, and now you are spending more money fixing the new OS. It's all smoke and mirrors. MS takes their OS and makes it look different and adds a few bells and then calls it a new OS that you need to survive. BS is what I say.

BTW I use Suse 9 at home and love it. Every once in a while I boot up to a 98 partition to do some stuff in Dreamweaver but other than that I can live with out any MS OS.
