OK, now that I have your attention, I am begging that MS PLEASE FIX
all the annoyances and bugs that plague Windows XP. Each month you
propagate security updates (oh, and yes, the windoze genuine

to the OS. Please o- Please MS, how about a high priority update that
addresses all of the stinking bugs!


I'm not sure whom you think you're addressing, but just in case you're
confused, let me make it very clear: this isn't Microsoft you're talking to
here.

This is a peer support newsgroup. We are all just Windows XP users here,
helping each other if and when we can. We are not Microsoft employees (not
even those of us with "Microsoft MVP" behind our names; that's an honorary
title for having provided consistently helpful advice) except for an
occasional employee who posts here unofficially on his own time.

And to address your complaints below, I don't have any of the problems you
describe and neither do any of the many other Windows XP users I support. If
you have such problerms, instead of complaining, you should be trying to
find out what you're doing wrong, what hardware problems you have, etc.

Some high hitting annoyances:

-task bar annoyance - out of the blue task bar will lock up, ALT-Tab
works during this time, after about 1 minute all OK.
-windows goes stupid annoyance - out of the blue, doesn't matter
which app - office or other, you try and open a file, windows gets
stupid for a few seconds while thinking about doing what you want -
you know this stupidity is occurring when you see the tiny
application icon in the extreme upper left corner of the active
window change to a dummy DOS box during this period of confusion.

What crap - talking about Vista? Holy Crap - fix what's out there
now - don't worry about freaking Vista! FIX FREAKING XP!!!!!!

Thanks for reading - I know this will have absolutely no effect on
fixing my windoze troubles, but it sure feels good....
