Actually (and I don't believe I'm saying this but it's true) I've seen
an NT machine that was very stable. It was a Compaq server which came
with NT 4 server preinstalled and no other software was ever installed
on it. Everything in the hardware was genuine and the software was the
vital minimum for running a web, mail and ftp server, installed and
configured at Compaq. Needless to say, my brother had an easy time
sysoping the thing, esp. knowing that he had a monthly quota to spend
on tech support :)

<shrug> Any version of Windows works with the bare minimum. And was it
running MS software? And even if it's stable it's still slow.
Here come the bash police...

I find Winamp runs quite well on my system. I can even render without skipping and a
minimal performance decrease.

I used to find that NAD was a good mp3 player, not so bulky as Winamp, only
drawback being that you can't use different skins.
