First off I bet there are 20 things about XP I don't really want to know.
Bringing up the rear at number 20:
Windows XP secretly KNOWS that the average user has no idea what they are doing. Therefore, it doesn’t let you do really stupid things like deleting the windows directory (at least not without spending several hours convincing it that you REALLY want to do this). Oh yeah, and internet explorer kinda sucks, get Firefox.
I hate to tell Real Tech News but thats not news to the TWL staff as we have all run I.E. alternatives for a long time.
