Yeah, but you have to install it and it's not installed by default in
that version, I believe. Although I'd have to check. They TRIED to put
it back as the default in XP and so many folks screamed...including me,
big time...cos' forcing the damn thing to stop all the time by me cause
me to trash my FAT table and blow away a hard drive! I was livid while
beta testing!!!!

I more than hate it, I despise it! I've never used it and never had a
hard time finding what I need. And to have that thing try to run to
organizing my file list for itself so it can help me find stuff faster
is nuts! The time I wasted when it was forced upon me...to retrieve my
mouse while a 20gig hard drive stopped sorting really ticked me off. And
the fact that Microsoft wanted to FORCE it upon me as a default was all
I could take!!

Some folks don't mind it...but I find absolutely NO use for it other
than to make Microsoft developers look better cos' the programs can
search the code better.

And speaking of searching...I wasn't on the WinXP beta team, but I'd
LOVE to know what they did to trash the search engine in WinXP Pro! I
love the system, but the search engine is now useless!<sigh> Huge drives
obviously mean they need better ways to find files, faster. But they
sure blew it with WinXP Pro! OK, so I like the 3-D dog...but the new
interface is a PITA!
