And XP is? You mean the same XP that will be infected within 15 minutes of putting it on the net right out of the box? And that has exactly what to do with anything?
I'm sorry, but I have to agree with John here. I got a Dell Windows XP machine (no, it was for someone else), installed by Dell and ready to use. I hooked it up to the internet; 5 minutes later it started rebooting. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew what to be looking for (the infamous virus of course;) I'd have been in deep s**t. It took me about 3 hours to get everything in working order again. Now imagine being an unexperienced user, and you've bought that Dell computer. How would you feel about your 'user experience' with MS Windows XP? Regards, Pieter Hulshoff
