indeed they are

they should of just stayed with xp pro
best os they have came out with to date other than nt back in the day

and i hear wind 7 is good to my bro gets like 500 windows key for any new os before they come out ( he has numerous microsoft cert's )
i could get him to get me a copy if i really wanted to
i myself run windows xp pro myself ( copy he gave me ) and i'm sticking with it till i'm forced to change

nice never having to buy any os or software lol
