Hi Emile and Ray,I'm a bit late, but I just thought I'd try to offer the contrary side for a more balanced view <G>:

Seems as good/bad, or actually slightly worse, than Win98SE here. And when it does crash, whether process or whole system, it's a b****r to find out what's gone wrong. The Dr Watson is next to useless and the other crash details are nearly always totally irrelevant. There's no way I can do decent debugging on the rotten thing.

Not sure how you judge that. Are you watching it being allocated and reallocated somewhere?

Actually I've seen more BSODs or outright total hangs (three fingers not even working -- hardware reset jobs) in WinXP than I have in quite a while on any of my Win98SE systems. I think you must lead a very unadventurous life with your XP system! <G>
