I dont know why Xp is getting such a hard time, out of the box (well, virtual box anyway )it works well and install didnt cause me any aggro.
XP is not my problem, it is microsoft. I purchased a copy of mandrake linux 8.1, it had ftp server software, smtp server software, dns server software, http server software, an office suite for word processing, three web browsers, cd burning software, firewall software, two different desktop environments, support for almost all of my peripherals, a good selection of games, mp3 playing software, graphics editing software, development areas for programming, and the best part is that it cost $20.00 U.S. dollars. Since it includes so much server software, the only package windows has that comes close is Windows 2000 server. Expect to spend $500 on this product. Or if you want a microsoft product in the same price range, you could probably purchase Windows 3.1 for the same price.
