Well windows xp is pretty user friendly but
it is a too user friendly because it
is a little too easy to get past the passwords even for someone
with only a fairly good knowledge of computers.

What do you mean rusty? Windows xp is supposed to be safe with the passwords. I mean if you lose your windows password (in case you lock your windows) nobody can break it (only by mistake maybe)

hehe.. I modded WinXP to look like MacOS

I think WinXP is too easy to use when it comes to JUST using it but it is SO hard to fix it! Damn Microsoft making the fixing process herandous!

That is different in Linux, just look at the documentation and then you can pretty figure out what is wrong. Linux is still young (I gotta admit that it's missing a couple of features, plus, it is incompatible to some stuff that I use like my MP3 player)

I rather go backward 1 version (Windows 2000). I found a hidden feature for Windows XP, it's called "Eat itself". Both my cousin and I found this feature, the thing the activate it is unknown. Our computers ate itself. That's y I'm afraid to use WinXP, so I rather use Win2K.

Heck, y bother use Windows. I got better choices, SuSE Linux, Mac and SkyOS!

3. Windows Xp Sp2 Restarting After Some Time - (6)

   Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
   someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by
   Administrator) and then restarts after 60 sec. This is an SP2 so I dont think its a blaster. I
   have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder
   from Kaspersky using my Second OS (Vista) but that also didn't detect anything . .. Any guesses

5. Windows Vista Installation Fails - (3)

   Hello. I tried Installing Windows Vista Home Premium today, but when it comes to the part
   of the Installation where it says "Your computer will restart several times" my computer restarts
   more then 40 times, and never loads after that. After like, 10-15 minutes of it being off, I switch
   it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've
   tried installing this 4 times altogether, and nothing. it keeps restarting continuously more then 40
   times. The only time it restarts is after the BIOS loads, when switching/restar...

6. Windows Xp: Explorer.exe Crashes On Certain Accounts - (5)

   I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the
   computer. Recently whenever my friends use the PC, they begin to have problems with it. For no
   reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
   went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
   Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked
   "File" on the Folder Window's Menu Bar with a file selected. It also happened on rare occasion...

7. How Many Times Do You Reinstall Windows In A Year - There goes some useful tips about it. (19)

   I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would
   say "I do it daily" and some others "How to reinstall?". Let's see the poll results. Linuxers,
   see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
   They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
   whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
   with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi...

19. Windows Vista Randomly Freezing - Vista freezes randomly (15)

    on me. It's completely random, I can find absolutely NO pattern to why it's doing this.
    I've reformatted multiple times to make sure it wasn't just a bad install. I've updated
    my drivers, they are ALL compatible with Vista. I've read it could be an issue with an April 06
