I get irritated at the way it buries configuration features so far behind wizards that I can't find them.


Even so, I am quite happy to trade one-time-only configuration difficulties for what appears to me to be rock-solid stability day after day. In the year and a half I have been running XP on my home computer, I have had exactly one forced reboot, and XP is the first operating system since I left Windows 3.1 that recognizes and has built-in drivers for my ancient HP II-CX scanner.

I was certain that I was going to hate XP with its warm and fuzzy UI -- but after the first week using it, I pretty much realized I could never go back to Win2K or Win98.
