XP hasn't crashed yet in my first 3 weeks, while my '98 crashed every day.

Oh, and I'll bet you readily admitted that Windows 98 crashes "every day" here on SI too, right?

<<So, instead of having a great OS, you are upset and won't upgrade? Most people don't hold a similar grudge. Most people simply go buy the better product.>>

maybe i will but i would much rather buy a machine with linux on it that will have constant upgrades for free or a very minimal charges and star office for the same reason. get my point. ibm used to give away the software if you bought their hardware. we are going in a complete cirle.

lastly, most people when they have bad experiences with something (i.e., except for the opposite sex) don't go back to repeat the same mistakes. this is going to be one of msft's greatest hurdles and i think downfalls.

rocky.

It crashed EVERY day?

Man you had trouble!

Mine crashes MAYBE once a week or two.

Still see no reason to upgrade.

I'll stick with my original plan to buy a new system in 2-3 years. Quite a change for me as an early adopter who used to upgrade or buy a new system every 1-2 years, max, to go to 5-6 years.

The good news is: I definately will upgrade, as long as there is a need with new software demanding a better system, which I expect we'll see.
