Perhaps. But it seems that each "evolution" of these "operating systems"
keeps taking away more and more user control (and yes, I know that's because
in large part it seems to be needed for the masses, who keep mucking up
their system).
And adding more bloat.
Remember, WinXP (and Win98SE, etc) are JUST supposed to be *operating
systems* - and that's ALL! Not "applications", in and of themselves. :-)

Some days there are times when I wish I could uninstall SP2 as (I
believe)
it is problematic for some program installations. But alas, I
apparently
can't uninstall it, as I just got this new Dell system as a relatively
new
release (and I believe it is also integrated into the system CD, too).
BTW - Is there any way to go back to plain jane WinXP (i.e. without SP2)
in
such a case, and without completely messing up the system, and requiring
a
clean install (wiping out the existing stuff)? I'm guessing that is
NOT
an option, if your system recently came preinstalled with SP2 (and uises
one
of the newer CDs, in which it is apparently now integrated into WinXP)
.
