XP problems

hi all

I strongly suggest you dont install windows XP because it messes up settings and other programs. it has caused me so much hassle that it gonna be removed as soon as possible. it does things like the following

renders Norton useless leaving you open to 'attack'
modems dont work
scanners dont work
interfeers with games and joysticks
messes with sound cards........ and the list goes on

while it is installing it gives you the option to print out a list of incompatable files and programs.

how big is the list? 5!!! pages in my case

now I dont know if/when I will get the next badtrans virus. Norton has stopped it twice already but now XP has disabled the program.
