Its perfectly possible to secure it adequately.
Heaps of stuff.
Most obviously the system restore which makes life a hell of
a lot easier when things go pear shaped with an install etc.
Much better support for dinosaur apps that dont like 2K.
The files and settings transfer wizard makes migration much more convenient.
Much more flexible user interface.
Lots of basic fixes done rather better than they are done in 2K.
Much better automatic support for the new
stuff that appear as disk drives on usb etc.
Much better automatic support for stuff like ipods, satnavs etc,
they just load the appropriate app when you plug them in etc.
Etc etc etc.
You clearly need to 'think' harder.
The wireless wizard that came with XP SP2 leaves even
the wireless support in XP SP1 for dead for starters.
You need new glasses bad. Most obviously with the system restore.
It aint just games where XP leaves 2K for dead in that regard.
Neither does the corp versions of XP either or
what comes supplied with most new systems.
When have I bought or wanted any of this stuff? It's a COMPUTER!
