You have to remember that this is a tech support newsgroup and so you
aren't seeing posts about how great someone's computer works. If you go
to a hospital, you'll see a lot of sick people. Does that mean
everybody in town is sick?
I can't answer your question about why it isn't more brain-dead-easy to
set up networking in XP because I'm not a programmer and I don't work
for Microsoft. However, I can tell you that it isn't that hard to do
either, although many people seem to think computers should be as easy
to operate as toasters. Computers are marketed like that, but it isn't
true. Computers are complex and powerful machines that require a little
more knowledge to use than is required to toast bread.
Are you having a problem you'd like help with or are you just venting?
