Windows XP best OS ever

Can you get enough of Windows XP news?
Let's face it, there's not a lot of drama around the introduction of a new Microsoft Windows operating system these days, even when the newest version, called XP, is clearly the best yet. The courts have officially ruled what you already knew, that Microsoft has a monopoly on PC operating systems. Unless you are the one in ten who defiantly chooses a Macintosh or a Linux machine, or unless you're a Luddite, you'll probably buy the new Windows XP eventually, perhaps the next time you buy a new PC. In terms of giddy anticipation, XP ranks up there with the arrival of new telephone books or the redesign of the $20 bill. And that's a shame, because Windows XP is surprisingly good news for consumers. It's significantly more reliable and easier to use than any of its predecessors, including Windows 98 and the disappointing Windows ME. It has all the best features of the solid Windows 2000 Professional, but without the complexity.
