Hi Hayden, Lol! You've got a good point there. Plus I'll add a comment to yours. People here are talking about how rock solid stable XP is, how good it is, but do they have a short term memory or something?
Back in 2001 when I first got XP the OS was extremely unstable. It chrashed constantly, and everyone back then was calling XP a piece of crap. It wasn't until service pack 1 came out before it became widely considered to be safe to use, and it didn't really become extremely stable until service pack 2 came along. Now, we are into the third service pack, and of course its stable and reliable now. That's 10 years of updates, bug fixes, and changes to make it that way. So I think the gripe here is actually more to do with paid upgrades than free ones. I don't remember this community pitching a fit when Microsoft released service packs 1, 2, or 3 for XP when they came out. I'm sure most people thought updating was a good idea. Now, if we come around to the idea of paying for Windows 7 its an absolute, "no way Jose. Upgrading is bad." Maybe the real problem here is not upgrading, but the cost of investing in the upgrade?
