XP Home has something wrong with it, its a bastard child in my view, and it 
was shown when it was first released - it had more problems that WERENT user 
derived than its completed brother Pro.

I did enjoy Windows 2000, but its hardware support is shit^2.

I've tried to use Linux, but its design is quite stupid, and reflects upon 
the shit pile that is windows <3.11 (Layered approach to doing things, and 
its not efficient or user friendly.

Also, it wont install on any of my elder boxed reliably, so its worse than 
2k in my view.

I'd give anything to have BeOS back, its like Linux but installing shit is 
the easiest I've ever seen - unzip to programs, done!
