The most i hate about computer is formatting. Recently i was format my PC again to unknown reason. I think is because of spyware activity. When i switch on my pc in the next day then all are blank screen. So after 3 days troubleshooting and no improvement so i make decision to format it.

Operating system is an another issue. I used Windows 2000 but not works. So finally i go to shop and buy Windows XP Corporate edition (with SP3).

As usual I must install everything like my previous application. After updating Java Runtime i was aware that they merged with OppenOffice.org installation.

Java Runtime

Java allows you to play online games, chat with people around the world, calculate your mortgage interest, and view images in 3D, just to name a few. It’s also integral to the intranet applications and other e-business solutions that are the foundation of corporate computing.

Finally i use Windows XP PRO SP3. You can download it here

If you want to feel Vista style but low resource use, consider install this Win XP SP3.

Problem?

People keep talking about disadvantage of Win XP SP3. For me i just installed it and i want to try it and see what happen. So far i notice that it was not compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS 3. That was my first debug. Stay tune i will post update here, what application may incompatible with this OS.

Update: 

This issue was posted on this forum and following is the what member response.

We have experience with both XP & Vista and there is not even a
 question - Vista is a HUGE disappointment

Memory hog if there ever was one and every user we know has had the
 same experience

Any knowledgeable systems/network pro recommends NOT upgrading

This is not a cost issue - pretty ridiculous to state that must be
 people’s concern

Even Steve Ballmer has said he is open to extending the time frame

Dell has even made the decision to sell you the Vista as they will have
 to follow MS’s guidance but provide the buyer a downgrade to XP

That way if they ever get Vista right the buyer can choose to upgrade

at no cost
