Sorry but at least it wasn't the unkindest snip of all time.
XP is so perfect that MS has released XP SP3 RC 1.
Heh - I said *near* perfect. Especially comparatively. Besides, SP3
will help immensely. What everyone is running right now is SP2 +
hundreds of add-on updates. What SP3 will do is integrate their fixes
into the libraries themselves. It's sort of like going back and
modifying the "2am fix" to standardize it with the rest of the code.
2 am fixes: happy days.
Incidentally, since
installing the XP December updates from MS I noticed that the machine
has slowed significantly. A friend has reported the same slowing on
his XP box. I have switched searchindexer off and it still runs slow.
Any ideas?
Hmm. Not really - I don't use XP anymore. :) Below is a link with a
synopsis on what was changed...

The MS07-063 may have something to do with it. Check through your
networking settings and make sure that there isn't anything extra there.
Sometimes, if it's continually looking for something in the
background, other processes can be slower.
Of course, the code is written by humans. Especially dealing with the
DRM fixes, it could be that someone left an inefficient tight loop in
one of the libraries. Maybe January will fix that.
Thanks for the link and comments.
