So very sweet & stable. NTFS file system once again prooves stability. Install on NTFS!!
Bad Points
Fast if using NTFS but not the qickest operating system around, but saying that it can multitask so many applications with no loss of system speed. Don't whatever you do install on FAT, its just as bad as ME like this.
General Comments
I have windows XP Pro installed under NTFS. It just has to be the best operating system from Microsoft yet. I cannot beleive how stable the system is. It just wont crash! And even on the rare occasion it does, only the problem application goes, not the whole damn system.
As an ex ME user, I was convinced that Microsoft did not know how to program. But now I have XP, Microsoft seemed to have redeemed themselves.
There is always room for improvement however, I have always belived that operating system files (windows & all its components) should not be stored on the hard drive, but be flashed into a ROM for faster startup. Also, microsoft should get rid of those old hat .dll .sys files. Take a leaf out of Apple Mac's Book. Microsoft, everything on a mac is hardware driven & requires no drivers (and they have been doing it for years)!!!
Maybe in the future, but I have to say somewhat reluctantly that this operating system make microsoft shine at the moment!
Better job Bill!!!
