I agree with you Smurth, when running windows I use 2000. Every single time I have tried XP (for a better dual monitor support) I haven't been able to bear it for more than a few hours... I simply HATE XP... so huge, so resource consuming, so automated according to Billy's (gate) likes, so ugly/big graphics (I always switch to classic windows style), it's like a win 2000 made for stupids... i.e. you want to search a file, you go to the search window and suddently a dog jumps through your screen asking you if you want to search for etc, etc, etc and you have to read about 3 pages of the "amazingly stupid" wizard to discover how to search for a file! instead of displaying a combobox to enter your search at once... And no matter how much time you spend trying to make XP work as an OS, and not as a wizard you will always have something to remind you that XP doesn't do things like you (the user) want, but how Billy the kid thought that most users would like.

I believe 2000 will be the last win OS that I'll use, I don't want to think the awful things that longhorn will do... So when 2000 gets too old I'll switch to Linux for good...

Sorry for the OT, but I really hate XP and the "M$ way", although I think LS on win2000 is a great OS ;)
