LOL! yes i've found xp tends to crash a bit as well although at least 
theres the win2k style process manager....

thats a strange one. worth knowing about. i have always preferred win2k, 
mainly because if you dont install the service packs theres no phone 
home evil spyware! thats why i call xp Borg edition... i really did NOT 
want to be using it, but the other reason i keep it on here is im 
totally broke, this was an investment i probably didnt need to be making 
but was urgent, so i need to bear in mind saleability if i get 
desperate... :(... this one's very much my baby now tho so i can see in 
future i might end up wiping the disk bwhahahahaaa...
i really dont like being given a teletubby-style operating system... 
sooner i can get linux onto this baby the better...
ok here i come partition magic 8.....
