I use XP, it crashes quite a lot for me (approx 5 / week) , that's possibly cos i am trying to do too much stuff at once. How many chances have Microsoft had at making a decent OS? Lots, yet they just keep revamping the same old crappy one. I have to admit thought that xp does crash far less than Win ME, I've never seen an "assisatant" exept in word, i didn't know they existed outside office.
