Well folks, all this hype about WinXP being so great, still needs
a new set of BRAINS so it will be as smart as WinMe and 98.
Am I interested in upgrading to WindowsXP Professional, you ask?
Not until there's an upgrade that will work and not throw all this
kind of garbage at us about having to go to the trouble of doing
all the look-up for upgrades. WindowsMe will do me just fine.
I have upgraded to every version of Windows, and have never
seen such a mess of problems as listed below.
