Good morning Darksheare,

XP - I just got it when I got my new computer and I'm not happy!!!!

It does have some nice things about it.
Unfortunately, it's even more of an arrogant OS than Win 95 was.
For one, it's got this setting where things in your start menu will pull a Houdini act on you if XP thinks you're not using them enough.
So you need to disable that 'feature', but finding where they hid the off switch for it is interesting.
PCWorld.com has info on doing so.
And this isn't even scratching the surface on the annoying 'features'.
But.. it does allow 4k blocks on a hard drive up to a 320gb hard-drive or some such thing.
So you wouldn't need to partition a hard drive down to 6 gig chunks.

"course... I'm always willing to rip.. er.. force Windows to comply to my wishes.
Why, back in the day, Windows 95 was forced to comply by my ripping out most of it's guts...
Odd part: it was more stable then.
At least until I was forced to reload windows when someone kept shutting off my 'puter without shutting it down.
I didn't bother gutting Win '95 after that because of the 'workload' involved in doing so.

I haven't bothered doing that to Win '98 since some of the things that were common between the two, and unused in win'95, are used by win 98.

*sigh*

I'm still holding on to Windows 98.
