I work in banking, and I know what the M stands for. I also know enough to
not use financial jargon in a general public setting.
You've made a common assumption about the error reporting tool that is
incorrect. It is there to gather information so that the most common
problems can be identified and corrected. If there is a fix available, then
the oca tool will let you know there is one. Otherwise, there will be no
response as the issues are not individually attended to.
Further to this, as this is a new machine, you should be exercising your
warranty if there are that many issues. If the issues are with software that
you desire to use with it, they should be addressed with the appropriate
vendor.
As well, XP was far from perfect at its release, and still is.
