XP was a real mixed bag for me. Aside from my deep hatred for the Playschool UI (so glad I can turn that off) it seemed to be no better at handling driver issues than any other version. IE is less stable than on any other WinOS, if that is even possible. OTOH, most of my other apps seem more stable and less likely to kill the machine. The big issue for me is that the machine must be quite powerful in order for XP to run right. I've run it on less than a 500MHz box, but I wouldn't recommend it. Then again, I guess I wouldn't recommend it anyway. I only use it to admin my Windows servers and play games.
