Back then they shipped home with the prebuilds from Dell. I never understood why either. I wasn't the purchasing person, so it was out of my juristiction. Where Im at now is all Mac OSX systems. I still like PCs better

Getting back on point tho, it could be driver related somehow with Dell/HP systems. Yet, that's a pretty big audience that has either one of those brands. My XP pro has never crapped out on me, and only got bogged down by my own idiotic moves a few times =)

That's kind of where I was going.  With XP, I've only really seen user error as the cause of problems and I've never seen/heard of errors unique to different versions.  Vista itself is a mess and driver errors causing blue screens and the like were present on all versions.  I haven't had 2000 on a box I own (went from 98 to XP) so my experience with that one is limited to non-home venues.

I don't think you're wrong in saying stripping out features could potentially cause problems, but I don't see enough evidence in your posts or in my experience to support your "Jenga concept."

Well, for my rebuttle, I've found Vista Ultimate a lot more stable than the lesser versions. XP may be the only platform since 2000 that I might concede the point, as XP overall was/is just a solid OS. Sure Vista had lots of driver issues, but there were a lot of visible slowdowns in the stripped down versions.

AS W7 is a "stabilized" Vista, I expect to see similar things between the versions of W7 coming out.
