I know tons of people, who are not happy with windowsxp.
Mainly because, most of their software(almost 30%) are not compatible with
windowsxp, or the software companies didnt make it compatible yet, or making the
software compatible means buying a newer version.

IMO, if you have windows2000pro, its not worth the trouble, unless you like
"funny graphics". ;)

As far as chess programs are concerned, my 2 fav programs, rebel and CM8000
doesnt even run under it, too bad.

Not to mention my dsl provider software wasnt even compatible.


I installed and uninstalled winxp in the same day, within 6 hours.
