Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen!

 

I have some strong opinions, yes. That doesn't mean I hate it, or even

consider it a bad OS overall. I have some pet peeves, "Filter" (aka Search)

being at the top, with networking wizards not far behind. But my strongest

emotion regarding Vista is that it isn't even close to being what the

designers originally set out to produce. That original concept would have

meant a very different OS, from the guts out. Instead, they hung a bunch of

stuff on a version of XP that they, I agree, significantly improved and made

more stable, more self-healing, and more intelligent and unbudging when it

comes to applications installations.

 

But I'd have no problem using it as my base machine, and in fact I'd

probably prefer it. It's just that for the moment, my rather huge XP system

(relative to most people's), is running well, applications are settled in

and behaving, and it's just not convenient to convert to Vista as my main

system right now. I've just been using it and digging into its guts in order

gain the knowledge I need to support others who use it. Which, of course,

will help me immensely when it does come time to switch.
