Well, gotta be careful.. M$ is doing their own open source thing now.  <XP
rant> But yeah.. various family members and friends have XP issues all the
time (viruses, boot issues, too slow, hard drive full, etc).  I used to be
current enough to help them, but I've found that I've lost a lot of my
knowledge of WIndows.. and  I "remember" GUI features that were never there,
but that I've become used to in KDE (for example, the other day I thought
that every window had the option to keep it on top.. oops, guess not!)
Anyhow, it has gotten to the point that I try to avoid working on Windows
whenever possible, unless that involves converting their OS to Linux.  XP
aggravates me to no end.. at least with Linux I can ssh in and fix their
problems remotely if need be.</XP rant>
