I think they're both _decent_ OSs for the most part, considering they are coming from MS. However, XP, for the most part, would not be my choice, and that's mainly because of the bulk of it. I prefer to have a quick "point-click-open-run-exit" type thing, but with this OS and my operating system, because it doesn't have more than 128 mb RAM, is more like "point-click-wait-wait-open-run-wait-wait-exit-wait" type thing. It's a pretty OS, I'll give it that, but like I said, just a bit too much bulk for me. Hehe, I'm out of my colorful "emo" stage now, .
