I have to use XP on my school laptop, which I hate. But I just found some gadgets that allow more customization and thought I would pass it along- you can get them here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/Downloads/powertoys/Xppowertoys.mspx
The one I found most useful is desktop management which will allow you to have multiple desktops like you were a person working in the 21st century. Unfortunately no cool compiz cube effects, but at least now I dont have 6,000 windows open all the time.
Anyone having other knowledge of how to make xp not suck please comment.

What do you use otherwise? Mac OS X?
Good god no- I'm not a communist. Vista/Ubuntu Intrepid

I thought I was the only debater nerdy enough to use Ubuntu. Now you are the 2nd other person I know.
Do you have a good ev template for OpenOffice?
Vista sucks, I would kill for XP :(
My position was always I used a windows machine because for a certain price a windows computer is usually always more powerful- with a mac you are paying for ease of use. It was then pointed out that a similar comparison could be made of windows to linux. I haven't used it for debate work yet because I haven't been able to get my mouse software to work, so I can't use the extra programmable buttons.
Hatred of vista really doesn't make sense to me, it does everything XP does just a little differently. Usually the difference is an improvement.
