Yet, as most people know, SP2 has some serious issues!  For anyone reading the above 
(Or below, in this case), please use caution when installing Windows XP SP2!  (Look 
on the internet and find details about the problems this can cause with some software, 
and games!)

However, XP is by far the best operating system going (Well, for those who don't 
like 2K anyway.) - And for those who seem so adamant on using ME, then I pity you. 
 How any of you see fit to claim this is the best operating system is beyond me (Avid 
gamer and IT/Network engineer BTW!) as ME was released and then promptly forgotten 
about.  98SE is more stable than ME, and ME does not offer anything of value over 
98SE (Apart from serious lack of ME drivers.)

For those who find XP difficult - Get over it.  It's a new OS and is not that hard 
to use - Get a book.  We're not running on steam any more (No HL2 jokes!) so why 
insist on using an out-dated OS?
