Windows XP came out somewhere around October 25, 2001 right? That means that's it's only been out just over a three years... you were running it way back then?

You are a braver man than I. I stuck with 2000 until Spring 2002 at least if I remember right. I have friends that refuse to move to any new MS products until SP1 is released, and while I certainly don't follow that rule, I do like to stick with what is working for me.

Anyway, the real question here is why were you trying to run the tour? When I first read your post I was thinking to myself... strange... I don't remember it crashing on me before. But then I quickly realized that it could format your hard drive 30 seconds into the tour for all I would know. ;-) I always new someone must run the darn things, cause Microsoft seems to be pretty fond of sticking them in their products...

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron, and at the time, the only options I had were WinME or WinXP (home or pro). I wanted Win2K, but I would have had to buy a Latitude, and they weren't available with a DVD player back then.

I wanted to see what was new in Windows XP, and I had a little bit of time on my hands. I just found it odd, and all my co-workers thought it was hillarious.
