Well, here is the thing Windows XP is better than other windows because it does everything for you.; However, i do belive it had alot of bugs when it first started off. With service pack 2 XP seems ot be much more faster and deffinetaly secure. I am a big windows person because my first computer has "98" on it and now i have advanced to XP (Which is a great operating System). 98% of whe world uses Windows as there operating system. Here check out this new operating system. It is called "Long Horn" http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ this new operating system is still in testing and i don't know when it will be released but htye say it has a lot of bugs..... can't wait to see it when it comes out
