God knows and also Microsoft how badly they need new blood there and great help! I am so frustrated myself with XP Pro. I expected so much more like many others globally and all we got was a spyware/virus target. I have 98SE systems that respond lightning quick compared to the turtle-like movements of XP. I don't subscribe to the same line of thinking as some that Microsoft is bloatware with it's latest systems but rather they need more people who take a sincere interest in all-around improvements , including spyware protections that without them leave MS systems vulnerable and a whole consumer base biting their fingernails anytime they go online.
