Just as an FYI here is a study just released.

Note, I got this as it was released by MS, and it was funded by MS... becasue they were approached by the group who wanted to do the study. So... complete disclosure there Grin

Sounds like you need a clean install and immediately install SP2.

LOL I guess I dont know what I am doing, I install it once with SP2 and all updates it never crashes and I am happy with it Grin

Icenine I dont take any offense it is just an OS and whatever anyone chooses to use is fine by me. I like XP and have had great luck with it but to each their own.

*Nicholas Petreley's former lives include editorial director of LinuxWorld, executive editorial of InfoWorld Test Center, and columns on InfoWorld and ComputerWorld. He is the author of the Official Fedora Companion and is co-writing Linux Desktop Hacks for O'Reilly. He is also a part-time Evans Data Analyst and a freelance writer.

Yep sounds like a completely neutral party to me... Also some of the facts, aren't facts.

VERY flawed article. Incomplete information, and assumptions that may or may not be true.

EC - That's exactly it. There are no unbiased editorials in the matter. I could pull out 50 more articles just like these.

Hey... I disclosed the fact that the one I posted wasn't unbiased. I said, "released & funded by MS"
