Saving Windows XP

[fetishdj]

I believe you have great points. However, as far as I know neither Win. 95 or Win 98 could have ever been brought up to XPs standards since XP was based on the NT kernel and the other two were not.

Yes, in fact win 95 and 98 were both based on the windows 3.1 kernal and this was so ripe with problems that 95 and 98 tried to fix by patching on updates. The NT kernal is far more stable.

No idea what Vista is based on but I have a policy of not buying new OSs until they have been out for a while so that they can sort out many of the bugs

Yep...that's a very good policy, fetishdj. They always put the product on the market first and then try and fix the problems...imagine doing that with a new car!! Mr Gates is still putting out updates and fixes for XP
