I've been snarling at XP since I got it-- It's gotten to the point where I refuse to download the new service packs because it's all useless crap I don't need/want that resets my defaults. Since I use a wireless network, I have a firewall on the router and my comp one disabled, but XP freaks and starts frantically pointing at the disabled firewall every time I try to do something with the system (like shut it down). It's just. Grrrrrr. Time consuming.
