Windows XP (hOT)

[Kuang Wang]

Hi All,

I can't agree more.  For thoss who's buying the full version:  You can also
purchase the OEM version and save $50-$100.  The only difference is that you
can't call Microsoft and get free tech support.  The software and activation
is the same.

Save the money and get a webcame that really won't turn itself on.  I know
the cheapies are remotely controlled by the Gates family.

Hi Phil, and others..

I just installed Windows XP and have absolutely nothing but good things to
say about
it so far. Havent had one crash yet, and the only thing that is lacking is
the fact
that not all the hardware companies out there have gotten relavant drivers
finished
and available for download.

Security issues I have read about are largely overstated for the home
computer, and
in anycase can be addressed by taking the appropriate measures we have all
had to
take all along. Most notably the use of firewall protection in the case of
DSL like
connections, and a good antivirus program in anycase.

I dont think we have got to the point where we need to worry about that
webcam
turning itself on yet. :)
