Tom,

I too was sceptical about XP when buying a new computer recently, and 
was toying with the idea of installing Win98SE on it. But having used XP 
Pro since early January, I must admit that it is truly better in every 
respect than every Windows OS before it. My PC has not crashed for 6 
weeks, an unheard of interval in my Win 98 days, and as for colour 
management and related issues, while it is not perfect, it is certainly 
much better than what I had before.
