Ciarán I've never been too happy with XP, there's always some sort of problem and it has slowed down a bit like you experienced.

I’ve never been too happy with XP, there’s always some sort of problem and it has slowed down a bit like you experienced. I’ll need to keep for the missus plus some of my fav programs are Windows only but i’m impressed enough with Ubuntu that i’ll def install it in future.
