lol.
boys boys.
I have been using XP before.
sure I had my xp box look like w2k in a minute after the first boot.

the problem with the drivers are:
1) xp things he knows better. even though in the driver settings I disable the default laptop display, xp denies to shut the fragger down.
2) smc irda ain't working. similar reasons. there is failure on port 2, heck, there is no such port and it should ignore that, just like w2k seemed to do.
3) the WLAN card fires up about 3, 4 mins after xp bootup, guess that's because of the fast boot features. they suck. anyways, as a result, the wlan card works only half the boots.

conclusion, xp sucks.
oh wait, I knew that already.
