What do you guys think about XP?
PseudoRandomDragon:
I have made a vow to never every install Windows XP, no matter what. The same will most likely apply to Longhorn.
Why?
There is no reason to ruin a perfectly good Linux, Win2k or even Win98 installation with bloated, spyware/DRM infested, ultra-colorful WinXP OS. No reason.
What really makes me sick is the people who try to tell me that they like the interface. Ugh! Give these guys a Mac, or let them try out KDE 3.2 or Gnome for a day.
Personally, my biggest issue is the spyware/DRM, which is there, no matter what the M$ fanboys tell you.
Predator:
I also agree that XP is waaaaay to user friendly. And the worst thing of all is that annoying popup message when you put in a cd. It sucks ass! And it takes fucking long to load? Damn!
p4x0rMonkey:
yadda yadda yadda XP is a joke. Why not create a fucking bubble to use as a OS because XP does fuck all for u!

I really wouldn't know. When XP came out with that oh-so-wonderful WPA feature, I went Linux instead. Up till now, I haven't had anything to do with XP. So far, haven't found any reason to miss not having it either. :D

For any comments saying XP is stable, I say bullshit. The piece of crap used to freeze when I browsed websites, regardless of the browser, and listened to audio files at the same time. BSODs were also common. I reinstalled the shit but it still bsods every now and then. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
What pisses me off even more are the numerous retarded "features", some of which can't be disabled and you can be sure that they are scattered around and hidden in the OS so you probably can't find them all by yourself. Do I want to be informed ~5 times that there's a new device found (my video card without drivers at the moment because I'm updating them)? Do I want a fucking search window when I'm just trying to browse my hard drives? Why does renaming a file sometimes take 10-20 seconds?
Is the bloated GUI and all the shit that's "new" and "innovative" in WXP? Doesn't take two tries to guess right.
By the way, is it just my Winblows or doesn't CTRL+ALT+DEL not work for rebooting anymore?
I have to do a hard reboot every time the piece of shit crashes. If that's really meant to be, M$ is really arrogant or stupid to claim/think a software reboot feature isn't needed.
