Windows Still Not Ready For The Desktop

This new article on OSNews.com explains Why Windows Isn't Quite Ready for the Desktop. On the whole, I have to agree with the guy. Personally, I have lots of problems with Window XP:

1. It is slow. (Although XP does reboot a lot faster than 2k.)
2. Many key features are full of bugs. (Printing, for example.)
3. The Registry is a disaster.
4. It is full of security holes.
5. Options and settings are apparently laid out at random.
6. The UI is generally inconsistent.

Obviously, these are general issues and I could write a book on the specifics. Since I don't have time to do that, I'd recommend looking at a copy of Windows XP Annoyances. This little tome weighs in at a svelte 586 pages.
