Generally, if 99% of your software installed that you use 99% of the time is Microsoft brand, no problems ever :0 - It’s real-world users that have issues! hahaha

I am running Windows XP, and have since it was available. Recently I started to bring it up to date by adding all of the MS up-dates. As a result the only thing that I noticed is that it takes longer for it to boot up. Other than that it appears to work well.

Almost every time I give in and finally load updates I spend hours, even days, trying to get things to work halfway correctly again. The one feature I do commend Microsoft for is RESTORE, without which many users would never get their PC’s to run properly after loading updates.

Even without updates its like digital Russian Roulette.
I try not to shut my PC off unless absolutely necessary because I never know what surprise awaits when I reboot.

Totally white screen with no desktop icons, blue screen of death, mouse not working, Internet Explorer lock up, total PC lock up, all file configurations reset from my laborious, time consuming settings, etc.
