Well I have no hard data, but the few new XP machines I have installed have been flawless and very fast indeed.

One company recently bought two identical Dells, one with XP, onw with 2K (the one employee had a big ild hangup about XP).

Anyway the installations, and setup took me close to half as long on the XP machine, and the CAD programs they were running were far better off under XP.

Was this just some kind of fluke?

The one thing I don't like about XP is having to change a bunch of settings when you first start it up to make not try to be in your face.

However, I will say the new cartoon/jwelery box look is a WELCOME relief for a guy that sees WAY too many grey and blue boxes all day long.
