Re: Do you find XP reliable

Did you 'upgrade' to Windows XP (over the top of a previous install) or install Windows XP fresh and clean?

I've had Windows XP installations running here for over 18 months now, without a hitch.

Re: Do you find XP reliable

What sort of problems have you been having? I'm truly curious, as I've had nothing but glowing praise of it from almost everybody who's switched to XP

Re: Do you find XP reliable

Curious. I've got all Windows updates installed here, and haven't had any problem .

I haven't been able to uncover any reports of this behaviour following a recent update, either.

Re: Do you find XP reliable

Only a few minutes to install all the important updates, if you order the Security CD and install them from that!
