Sorry for top posting (again), this sucky blackberry doesn't let me do anything else.<BR>
<BR>
You can tell how often I play with desktops with >2gb ram :-p<BR>
<BR>
You're right about the good features... Though I can't think of any atm either. It's the general unreliability and random breakage that annoys me the most. At least XP is "stable".<BR>
<BR>
They should adopt the stable/unstable/testing name schema for windows OS's :-p People might not be misled and conned into buying os's like Vista till they're actually usable.<BR>

I must admit there are a few good features. Just can't think of them<BR>
just now. But this is overwhelmed by the sheer awfulness of all the<BR>
other features...<BR>
<BR>
Incidentally XP64 is not bad at all. I use it with Cubase and large<BR>
amounts of memory. But it is not faster than XP32, it's a bit slower...<BR>
