There you go!! They say Xp has better security, yet who uses it??!

Another problem with XP is that SP2 conflicts with many of the good security programs that clever Xp users download instead of using Xp's own...such as Spybot, or AVG, or ZoneAlarm.

And Firefox doesn't stop you getting malicious ware. I used Firefox for about 6 months, and got a lot of viruses. I used IE, same sites, not as many viruses, and now Maxthon, and I get about one or two viruses a month...if i'm LUCKY!

And thanks to XP's absolutely wonderful access restrictions I can't get rid of them the way I would have done in ME. I find that even Norton can't work properly because of XP (compared to how well it worked in ME). It's got to a point where I've just thought "Sod it" and created a System Restore point when the computer was completely free of anything (spyware, trojans, hijackers, the lot) and keep on reverting to that whenever somethign happens.

Sure, XP may be more stable and doesn't crash as often as ME did, but ME is a far better OS.

Out of interest, have you ever used ME?? And if so, for how long??
