Hmm...thats odd...

SP3 has been doin' me wrong ever since it came out...my system instantly 
goes from "rockin fast and fully cooperative" to "slower, more buggy and 
stubborn than a legless mule at a maggot farm".

I am seriously considering just ridding myself of the windows scourge 
permanantly in favor of either OpenSolaris, Gentoo, Mono or Ubuntu, after 
imaging my windows HDD after a reformat and reinstall of all requisite apps, 
and then running that from within linux whenever I wanted to use something 
none of the nix variants support.

It is really just getting to the point where I can no longer justify the 
annoyance of running 'doze.
I'd be happy to stay with xp pro...but MS seems hellbent on forcing the 
issue with pissta, and that I do not like..they seem more concerned with 
flashy doodads and humdinger thingamabobs than stable functionality...which 
is stupid. I'd rather my OS freakin work and do so quickly than have some 
asinine glass interface crap, and a kernel that requires half of my system 
resources.

This is what happens when natural selection has been so stifled that the 
population can be distracted for weeks at a time by small shiny objects. We 
get crappy a OS catering to subhuman feces hurling key-eaters.
