Heh. Yeah.. how long until XP was actually useful? Service pack 2?

When I first bought my HP laptop 3 years ago there was a huge problem with many of the motherboards which could be demonstrated time and time again; if the system requested enough RAM at one time the system would die. HP argued that it was a software problem... anyways it took months of arguing to get them to replace the motherboard. What angered me more, is that a friend bough a future model and encountered the same problem. Way to go HP.

Nod. Except for laptops, I've been building my own systems. Anything from a $200 web browser to a $1600 media server/render node.
