did this forum have any substance before the confusing not release of XP?

[flawedecision]

just curious...

difficult to find anything interesting in the midst of 50,000 posts with the same XP questions/issues.

Can it really be that difficult...I thought this was supposed to be friendlier than ME... perhaps therein lies the problem?

Look....I suspect most people here down-loaded XP from somewhere. They have no written documentation, although books on the subject are just coming out. "XP For Dummies", if you're a dummy, for instance. It's easier to post a question than to look up the answer. It IS more user-friendly than ME, most of the time you plug something in...it works. You plug in a network card.....bingo, you've got a working network. It's a big OS....many new features. Of course there will be questions/problems. Realize this is not some stupid 20mb Linux build.

Realize this is not some stupid 20mb Linux build.

I would certainly hope not.

A stable build that is functional before it is released to the general public is more or less a given for linux.
