I changed to XP after having problems with ME, especially with the memory
usage. ME does not free up memory very well when you change applications and
it builds up till you run out of resources. I found I was needing to re-boot
3 or 4 times a day due to Out of Memory messages. Also I do not get the
program crashes as often, and when I do XP handles them better. If you wait
for the bugs to be ironed out you may be better waiting for Win3000 when it
comes out :-)
Cheers,
Graham

Hi Bob,
I actually have a copy of XP Home (I paid $20 for an upgrade certificate
when I bought my computer), but to tell the truth I have very few problems
with ME and so I am afraid that if I upgrade things might only get worse. I
was thinking that it might be good to wait for a couple of service packs to
come out first so that all the major bugs will be fixed by the time I
upgrade. What do you think?
Steve
