Sucks.

Well, XP works like a charm for me. I'm sure you will like it. When I re-install XP I always make a lite version using nlite. That way I remove all the crap I don't need/want. With nlite you can also do stuff like turning system restore off, entering the key, creating an account, setting up the network etc. You can also integrate service packs, hotfixes and other updates. I end up with an windows setup ISO of about 160mb with a lot of settings already as I want them, saves a lot of time especially if you don't have to download and install all the updates the normal way. I love windows XP lite
