I'm still using Win95, mainly because it does what I want it to do. I have used win2000 and XP at work though.
If you are using windows XP then you are in the unfortunate position of being one of the many microsoft guinea pigs. XP is not fully debugged.

So what's the problem?

I'm not at all impressed by XP, it takes a lot of control away from you. The regular updates are welcome as they claim to stop outsiders viewing your files but where the heck's winfile ??? I'm lost without it!!!!
