Hi Robert,
You are correct in assuming that with reasonable care you can get away
with XP as it comes out of the box. The issues that I have seen so far are
usually related to the customers inadequacies in computer management. I.E. a
firewall. I haven't had any issues with windows XP to speak of here and I just
started using it once SP2 came out and before I ever heard of any problems with
it
itself. I'm a baby with XP at this point. Although my overall computer
experience is a masters degree. Makes it far easier to accomplish using it with
good
credentials. Unfortunately my customers generally don't have my years of
experience. This is where the problems arise. I personally thought I would
never
give up 95. I eventually moved to 98, which I prefer but I have found the more
experience I have with all of Microsoft's OS's the better off I am from a
profit potential standpoint.

Hi Lindsey,
I've been using XP Pro with SP1 update at home for almost a year with NO
problems.
I use 98SE on 2 computers at home and 7 computers here at shop. 4 of these
have had problems but only 2 were OS, 1 was power supply 1 was motherboard
I expect to have problems with XP because it is software
and software and electronics give trouble thats how we make our living.
