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

Dodgy? Are you sure you aren't one of those anti-wine advocates, and are letting your ideoglogy corrupt your vision? Maybe you aren't, but I can't remember a whole lot about anyone here.
I have no WINE experience, but it sounds like alot of people like it, even if it is not perfect.

You know what, it would not be a better place. It would be a better place if we had a lot of viable options for everyday computing. In much of this world, if you dont use windows, or at least macs, you dont exist.

i use XP.....it's stable but it's slower than fuck. when i turn my computer on it's about 5 minutes from the time i hit the switch to the time it's a usable computer. during that 5 minutes, about 1 minute is getting into Windows itself and the other 4 minutes is loading all the shit with the system such as MySQL (not starting any databases inside it, just starting the service), ICQ loading, MSN loading (in XP, it forces itself to load all the time) and that's about all. the huge slowness problem is from the hard drive, Windows is so disorganized that the hard drive just goes nuts trying to start a program up such as mozilla, photoshop elements (it's a low budget version of photoshop that came with my scanner) or even 1st Page 2000 (great HTML editor).
my mouse just goes fucking crazy from time to time, moving the mouse down makes it click both the buttons and move all over the place, i found it that it's the OS, not the mouse. while playing the game Half-Life in dev mode (all console stuff is shown in top left of screen), when the mouse goes fucked it will say hundreds of lines of "mouse3 is not bound" meaning that the mouse' tantrum is trying to hit mouse3.... problem is, my mouse only has 2 buttons and no wheel! it's a Microsoft mouse btw.
