Sure it is! Windows XP was supposed to have "supreme" compatibility with all previous OS-based
software. The first issue w/ XP was the lack of software support. Immediately, over 10 patches
became readily available to try and clear the mess up, which they didn't do for me and still
don't. I guess it depends what you consider a bug. Maybe your not much of a gamer, however I've
lost quite a few good programs when I had originally moved on to NT/XP. Not a bad trade off, IMO.
Much easier to optimize system settings & juice the most out of PC performance w/ significantly
better stability. Blue Screen of Death days are just history now! :)
