So don't believe anyone who says XP is the greatest OS ever invented

For my money XP has built up more bad will than maybe win95 and 98 put together. Updates do nothing more than patch leaks, and post-install proceedures take longer than the install itself!

When I tell a newbie they *need* a firewall and antvirus and spy/adware scrubbers and all need to be kept current, I can readily see the sheen go off the new-toy experience for them.

All that before they've even sent an email to their friends telling them they are online now :(

BTW the majority of the software titles for only windoze are either clones of each other or not worth the fuss, these days OSX feels well populated by comparison.
