Hmm.. 'What's so bad about Windows XP?'

I don't see what's wrong with my Windows XP Professional.  I've tweaked it and removed all spyware.  It *never* crashes on its own.  It is either some fault of my own or another program that crashes.  A fresh boot of Windows XP leaves a memory footprint of about 56000 KB.

So what's so bad about Windows XP?  I don't want to hear about what's so bad about Microsoft.

Internet Explorer is still intergraded... Windows would be a lot faster without Internet Explorer (and yes, I'm not using the standard Windows UI right now, so I can tell)

You can never remove all spyware. Can you tell me what programmes you removed, because, for example, Aplication Layer Gateway (ALG) is spyware too, and I don't think you removed that.

You're either lucky or stupid. I'm not gonna tell you how bad your windows is, i'm not gonna force you to use a new OS. But when windows screws up on you, please, please don't come crying to us.

Hmm, really?  How?  Do you know what servers it reports to?  Where can I find more information? I haven't heard that the ALG is spyware.

EDIT: silly me, I do have that disabled

Oh really?  How am I lucky?  If I'm not that, how am I stupid?

Why not?  That is, after all, the question I asked.

Gee, thanks, although I fail to see how you would force me to "use a new OS"
