<< My experience with XP is, that Notepad and Wordpad is still crap, Adobe Photoshop is still something you have to buy and install separately, so is Microsoft Office >>

Who uses Notepad and Wordpad? Why not just open MS Word?

XP does everything that Adobe Photoshop does if you are talking about the average consumer (MS's market).

Microsoft Office is a MS product, so having to buy it is a GOOD thing for MSFT.

It's hard to poke holes in XP, isn't it.
