here's an excerpt from a delightfully tongue-in-cheek review of "upgrading" from Windows Vista to Windows XP (via Slashdot):
"XP comes with some impressive device support. In fact, every peripheral I've collected over the years works perfectly with it. Many have the device drivers preinstalled on XP, making their installation a snap, but for the rest it was easy to find device drivers on the Web. In addition I found the drivers quick and reliable, a far cry from the buggy, slow and sparse driver support in Vista. I'm glad to see that with their new flagship OS, Windows XP, Microsoft have finally learnt from the mistakes they made with the Vista launch"

Heck of a defensive player...sure - but should we not put this guy on the other side of the ball???
I got myself a xbox360 .... really should't have as I am kinda broke right now - but I did, bite me :)
The media center extension bit in it is SUPER cool - now I just need to wall mount the TV, and hide away the super noisy xbox with its enourmous power adapter somewhere - weehee

I had done some spring cleaning and deleted a directory called 'old-homes' ....didn't realize that was where one of the apache config files were stored, silly me ....
