I've been with OSs since the DOS days. Used em all. Used non-Microsoft OSs before they all gave up (anyone ever try GeoWorks?). I have been to the darkest reaches of hell (Windows ME) and I am now on XP-Pro.

XP has been good to me. Of course it is not perfect, but it closed the gap (in my mind) with the only things that macs did better. With XP, I get a device, I plug it in, and it works. I leave my system running for weeks at a time with infrequent crashes. I am happy with XP.

If MSFT wants me to leave this, they will have to do a heck of a lot better job wooing me. I am not leaving this time, not without a justification.
Yep, I agree 100%, even with the Geoworks OS! I used Geoworks back in the early 90's ('89-'91). I have been very satisfied with WinXP and I will resist Vista as long as possible.
