 XP has DOS. Xp is very stable. It features a
great Go_Back like utility and it also has the ability
to run numerous programs in the background without
becomming unstable. There are some negatives which
include the unusual users agreement. The auto update
feature has worked out nicely for me. On the down side
also is that programs like XXCOPY need to be used a
bit differently than on older Windows OSs. Obviously
we are all gaining experience using XP and our
stratagies will soon be up to speed just as they are
for Win 98 etc..
