you know, there have been alot of XP probelms lately, Microsoft should make like a "Windows XP SE" with all the updates and SP's it would defenately be nice.
thats what service pack 2 is for. and theres always going to be problems. as long as microsoft is targeted its always going to be attacked. thats the way it works.
they all had problems, thats the obvious part. but it would help to install the updates upon the OS install, but i suppose you could always get the updates CDs or downloads but CDs would be nice for an ultra slow connection (like mine)
