[Gllug] Another dd backup ignoramus question

[Andy Millar]

Ah,

Sorry for top posting (again), this sucky blackberry doesn't let me do anything else. 

You can tell how often I play with desktops with >2gb ram :-p

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". 

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.

Yes, it's 2GB without, 3GB with.

I must admit there are a few good features. Just can't think of them 
just now. But this is overwhelmed by the sheer awfulness of all the 
other features...

Incidentally XP64 is not bad at all. I use it with Cubase and large 
amounts of memory. But it is not faster than XP32, it's a bit slower...
