I'm in the middle of the second crash of XP Pro. It seems to me that 
although it is lightening fast it is very sensitive.
Even if the software claims XP compatiblity, check for the latest 
updates/patches.
There are a lot of problems surfacing with this OS.

It seems rather egocentric to me for a corporation to produce an item which 
does not get along with so many other
products currently on the market and forces the consumer to jump through hoops.

Go to all your software and hardware websites and look for the latest 
patches often as well as the
Windoze Update site (there's always something there).
