I agree. I bought one new XP machine and upgraded another more recent vintage Pentium III machine. Only change I made in the P3 system was to double the memory by adding a 256Mb RAM stick (XP does love memory but it's dirt cheap these days, so it's no big deal). The improvement over Windows 9x is huge. The question "What's a reboot?" alone justifies the upgrade. The UI is also refined in countless ways that just make using XP a pleasure. Definitely a first-rate product.

Can't afford the $99? Hardly. More like I can't afford to waste the time putting all the stuff I've got on my machineS which are home networked on new drives and consider it a waste of time to change out the drives. Been there, done that. My machines work well together and I see no need to get a new OS. My connection is fast enough with broadband. I need XP as much as my dog needs fish food.
