I have my Windows XP system running for 4 years non-stop.... the system itself takes 50 MB of physical memory on startup, running quite a lot of background services so I guess it isn't as bad as you say....using it every day at least 7 hours a day (more when playing games)...so only positive experience with Windows XP from my side....

personally *nixes should be used as servers, they excel at that, I see no reason why are some projects for *nix systems trying to clone Windows' GUI, instead they should think of a completely different approach and apply that one if they really want to provide a different experience than windows, now it's just clone of windows' GUI with a lot more problems to set it up (the whole system, not the GUI )....

as a "sidenote" we're no longer talking about the topic, are we?
