The fact that you have everything backed up rather worries me as this in
definitely not normal for most mortals.I just hope you have copies of your
backups on a separate drive at another location as I am sure that you state
of Utopia cannot last. You have tempted Fate by telling us so check at once
your house and contents insurance are up to date.:-))

During the preview phase of XP I had it installed on 2 PCs and just
waiting for it to crash.

I kept waiting..... and waiting.....

My final verdict... it was boringly stable.

But then all my PCs (bar the notebook) are homebuilt and I know
exactly what's in them!

Even after clean installing final versions on all of them (including
the notebook) I get very few 'nasties' occuring. In fact the only two
semi-scares I've had were due to hard drive failure (Maxtors), both
drives were replaced under warranty and I do plenty of backups.
They're for the days I'm paranoid and those just in case scenarios.
Even major hardware changes (mobo and cpu) and gone without a hitch
(just a Repair Installation)..... all critical updates installed.

Even my Windows 2003 Server runs quietly in its corner 24/7 - and some
days I don't even look at it!

I had the same "Problem". I posted to the Beta groups how disappointed
I was that I couldn't filoe any bug reports and wasn't able to enjoy the
full, Beta tester experience :)

Everything on my computer is working perfectly. No errors. No startup
problems. No programs crashing. No delays. No viruses. Everything is
properly backed up. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? ;-)

Try turning the computer on and using it :)

That's exactly what I thought just last night. The UPS kicked in (power
surge) and put my computer into hibernation right in the middle of me typing
a message for one of these newsgroups. Caught off guard, the very first
thing I thought of was this message thread (I obviously dared fate one too
many times). However, as you can see, everything is fine.

Are you serious? Now that I have everything working, I'm never going to
touch it again. ;-)

Incase it in acrylic. Put a fence around it with Concertina wire.
Electricfy the fence. Get some Guards dogs. Hire a a Security firm.
Install an alarm sytem. Lo-jack the system, etc...... :)

Please see MS Knowledge Base article KB530667 to fix this bug.
Apparently, a team of teenagers reversed-engineered the OS, and made it
work.

This fix will set everything back to normal, and even ask if you want to
pre-order Longhorn!

Why do I get the feeling some are just sitting around waiting for me to
report my computer has died? Not you, David, just in general (yours just
happened to be the message I was reading when I thought of this). I mean, I
feel like some just can't wait to have the last laugh at my expense. Or, now
that I've tempted fate, am I just getting overly paranoid? :-)
