The WSJ article I saw wasn't exactly a rave. While it did say that XP is
much more stable than previous versions of Windows (that would be easy), it
did say that it was a ``Trojan Horse'' designed to lead you to other
Microsoft services. There was a separate article to tell how to minimize
this, but basically you can't get away from it.
