Resources it takes to run all of that. (vs. multi IM programs each with its own amount of memory they use)

Be careful ... I use XP and it works great for me after over 100 programs added to it. Could it be moms and pops are the only ones able to set ut up right?

win2k -

178 programs installed
789 uninstalled
hit by 35 virus (only 12 killed the boot sector, but 8 renamed all zip, jpg, dll files )
70,324 spyware removed
2100 toolbars removed

last Must use Ghost to reinstall / reformat - 2 1/2 years

This is on a client of mines system that thinks WinXP is part of a Gov plot to keep track of what people are doing. I tell him of all the programs he can install to protect himself from all the crap these morons make (spyware, virus), but he thinks those are more Gov. spy programs look @ what we do on-line.

So he is on my every 6 month PM cycle for computer maintance.


He is 72 and has a million stories. I think he lets it go till the damb thing freezes or crashes so I can talk to him while I fix his computer. It's cool, we all need someone to chat at, I guess

thats part of it but still...
XP was designed for less computer savvy people
it would be stupid of MS not too

Win2K ran microsoft.com and hotmail.com till Win2K3 replaced it. Good enough for me

Let's analize this and state the obvious:

www.aim.account.com/accountnumber736546

account.com is not run by AOL or AIM.

confirmate

is not a word.

I think you're getting "less computer savvy" and "more and better features" mixed up. I have always had better luck with XP than I ever did 2K. So, why is it I have the opposite experience with XP that you guys do?
