Yeah, I know how you feel. My employer still makes me use Windoze (they talk about a move to Linux on the desktop, but hasn't happened yet). I had developed a half decent working relationship with Win2K (we both hate each other, but we agreed to put our differences aside and try to get the job done as best we can 8^). Recently I had to move to XP, and it's not fun. All the same UI bugs that were there in NT and 2K are still there (e.g. random loss of window focus, inconsistent handling of mouse wheel, I could go on all day), and various new ones have been introduced (e.g. turn on Task Bar AutoHide and Keep On Top, and the system tray popup descriptions appear under the task bar!). And even with 2GB of RAM, it swaps more than Mandriva with 512MB! It's only getting back to a sane OS like Mandriva in my spare time that keeps me from losing it (at least losing it any more than I already have 8^). Well, now I got my Monday morning gripe off my chest. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
