# not for me it won't
I assure you.

XP is 10000000000000000 times better than Win98, in my opinion. I'd say how much better than ME it was but I don't have that high a number. Oh, actually, I do - a googolplex. :)

# i like it
never had XP or NT or 2K or 98, went from 95 to ME (by getting a new computer)
So maybe it'sjust that it's much better than 95.

# yes
yes it is.

Oh, and another thing, while I'm on the topic: I love how people who whined about Win9x's staid GUI (and sung the praises of their colourful Linux GUIs, or etc) are usually the first ones to call the XP GUI "fisher-price crap".

I bet if the exact same GUI had have come out as a front-end for HP-UX then they'd all have loved it... :p

# Hmmmmmmmm....
KDE 3 looks like XP, so I know what you mean. And on that note, let's stop talking about this.

I've completed the last phase of the transformation into a MegaDork dot com.

# i like xp's ui
what i don't understand is why, despite the advent of windowed operating systems (not that recently, either), most people maximise all their windows so they can only see one app at a time. madness!
