WinXP 2 thumbs up

WinXP rocks so far, I've had it for a day or two and it just gets better and better. I don't like that my AIM box doesn't dock to the side, and I have had a few instances where menus and stuff get a little messed up, my network is blazing fast and simple but online gaming(counter-strike) is my only real complaint, frame rates cut from over 100 to 50, and ping from 80 to 150. There are a few tweaking programs out there that are suppose to fix that though. Finally some decent drivers from ATI cards also. I'm running a 1.4 athlon tb,Asus A7A266 board, orb 3 heat sink, 256 meg DDR, radeon 64 meg video, 400 watt power supply, and a ton of fans. I tried both writing over windows98 and doing a format and I prefer the format, seems to run cleaner. With minimal problems I give XP two thumbs up! :)

Why pay for something free? :p Anyway, I would love to run linux but my dad wont run it and I don't want to go thru all that mess of networking linux and windows together. I belive its the best windows out there, and frankly with Microsoft's monopoly its forced to be the only OS you can use anymore.
