Frustrated with windows XP

[Chuck]

Hello all friends,
Before using XP I thought it must be better than windows
98. I am wrong. I feel it is just knock down 98 and
swept all the pieces together in a garbage can shuffled
it to the market, and tell poor consumers that they are
the new products. Bill Gate sure did a dirty cheating
job for my genuine cash

Sorry you feel that way! Because?

If you had upgraded from Windows 2000, you might have a point, WinXP is
little more than Win2k with a little bit more jazz and what really should
ammount to a service pack rather than being a complete new operating system.
While it has features which give it an edge over 2K, I don't think it worth
the upgrade cost.

But windows 98? Win98 is a crap operating system once described as a
beachball balanced on a wobbly stick (the wobbly stick being MS-DOS) Stick
with XP you are well rid of 98

The sad part of this, guys, is that he won't even bother to return here and
see any responses.

In the unlikely event that you do see this, Chuck, why not post why you feel
that way, and maybe someone can help you get over your problems with it. XP
is SO much better than 98, it doesn't even deserve to be compared. so if
you have problems, why not post what your problems are.

If you have a specific problem, please post it and you'll find plenty of
people happy to help you. On the other hand, if you just want to spout off
then do it elsewhere please. This is a support group not a soapbox...

Greetings --

Did you have any specific problem(s) that you need help with, or
were you just venting?

It sounds like an issue of incompatible/sub-standard/defective
hardware, or device drivers, or defective/sub-standard software.
Further, WinXP is much more sensitive to borderline defective
hardware, particularly RAM and hard drives, than is Win9x/Me.

Have you installed the most recent WinXP-specific device drivers
for the PC's components? Does the PC's manufacturer offer a BIOS
upgrade to provide true WinXP-compatibility? Are all of the PC's
components on Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)? What
were the results you got when you ran the Upgrade Adviser Wizard prior
to installing WinXP?
