My boot drive on my XP system is F
Wonder if you should go into your BIOS and see how your drive assigment is set up as..

Agree with IE-8 .. Kinda pretty, but a full recommendation on FireFox 3.05 install is definitely in order.

Google's Chrome works great as well ..

Because the support time is finite on XP, support stops in 2012.

Is Windows 7 still built on the NT core?

Everyone knows the best OS has already been made, OS/2. The world is actually going to end on February 14th, 2016. I received this information from an alien...

WHAT??! It got pushed back?! DAMN IT! Now I might HAVE to upgrade.

I installed OS/2 several years ago, and then when it booted up I couldn't figure out how to do anything except shut it down.

UPDATE: Micrsoft released IE-8 to the public where 21% of computer users are using Firefox 3.05.

After experiencing IE-8 in Windows 7, Firefox still wins hand down as an excellent browser to use.

I don't like IE 8 either... Windows 7 is really nice though. The worst feature of IE8 is the delete "x" at the right in the drop down address box.... if you're not careful or actually look where you click you'll loose the address accidentally!! Otherwise its not a real bothersome browser but it does seem clunky compared to others.

Sorry guys... About your world ending in 2016... my world will never end!

...Even Google Chrome and Opera are better than IE8...

I'm still using IE6...and glad to see Mark isn't planning on retiring in 2016...
