Well, not until I get something better than my P3-600 anyway. I've heard that it aint worth running XP on something like that as it is quite power mad.

Works fine on a PIII-600 at home, with 384Mb RAM. The CPU is a 550 o/c to 647 or something daft like that, G400 Max. Like it so much I have just thrown it on a dual PIII-550 rig. Works a treat there, and the 2nd CPU hardly does a thing - at the moment

I suppose any software developed by MicroShaft will have bugs, but in all honesty the reliability of XP has supprised even me, i have the odd send error/dont send error dilema, but compared to 98SE or 2000's and NT's lack of gameing support...its a price worth paying.
Yup SP1 will be here soon and for legit owners it could be a blessing (dont do it if you have the beta 2600 ahem.... pirate copy)

cause you will get locked out

But all in all its the best OS yet from MicroShaft.
But nowhere near as good as Linux for reliability and speed
