Nostalgia

'Tis common tendency to forget how rough things were just a few years ago, but with XP Pro, it had been easier to forget the many illegal operations, program shutdowns and non-responsiveness that characterized every other version of Windows. Now that my new computer came shipped with XP Media Center, I have been reacquainted with these old maladies. Combine this with IE7's frustrating habit of conking out and not responding to right-clicks, and refusal to load new tabs, it feels like 98 all over again.
