Longhorn sucks, even for a developers preview. That new sidebar is more annoying than the "improved" default start menu in XP.

In the mean time, KDE is getting pretty darned good and it's wayyyy cheaper than XP...

ive never had a single XP crash on one of my personal machines, and i enjoy the interface. (i cant say the same for other users but if you understand the way computers work it runs very well), but yes longhorn looks to be like a piece of microsoft spyware.

You're blessed with hardware with good drivers. Some of us on more ghetto budgets don't have that luxury.... :wink:

actually william, ive found that using athlon components bound to MSI or ATI system boards/video adaptors work amazing with windows once tweaked a little.   Just installing ATI video and not configuring it properly causes disasters ;)  Thats my last error which was probably 6 months ago

Hang onto it. It'll be worth a lot of money to a collector one day. It looks like they gave you the *only* working copy in existence.
