“If it ain't broke; don't fix it, and if it is broke do you really need it?”
While I am no longer make my living as an IT guy, I think I can say I am qualified to say something about Microsoft Windows XP (w/service pack2) Operating System (OS). I started using computers when Windows 3.1 was around and the only good thing I could say about windows 3.1 was that it was something you could run on any old low cost computer. And although apple's Macintosh was more stable and faster it was way out of the price range of most average guys trying to buy a first computer.
As systems got faster PC's were still second rate compared the Apple OS 7, 8, and 9.
Windows NT was a solid OS...
