no, because just that is part of the reason the OS is good. they have a very reduced set of hardware variables to go with so they can work very exactly, and with MS having to cater for everybody else, part of the reason that Windows has become a bloated horror, and the really good things are being left out or fucked up.

me too. I've never seen one that I thought was anything but pretty. I like the OS, but the hardware is under the level I require, and once it reaches what I use, it's so hellishly overpriced that I may as well make my own computer. The only reason I run XP is for games mind, otherwise I'd be just as pleased with whatever OS my email, browser and graphics proggy can run on.
