- I thought it was rather shortsighted that XP doesn't allow you to associate WMA sounds to your events. I mean, they're shoving the format down your throat in every other application. Why not here, too? Anyway, system (default) sounds have received a much-needed upgrade. I love 'em!

- In Windows 2000, you really couldn't make a boot disk. Sure, you could create a set of setup disks, but nothing like a simple boot floppy. Right click on the Floppy drive icon, select format, then place a checkmark in the 'Create an MS-DOS startup disk.' The MSDOS.SYS file contains 'W98EBD' - which leads me to believe that the files were taken from Windows 98. This won't do you much good if you have an NTFS drive.
- When was the last time you forgot your password? Uh... don't forget it for Windows XP. At least, until you create a password recovery disk. Under Related Tasks in the User Accounts Control Panel applet, click Prevent a forgotten password.
- The Kodak Imaging Application that came with other versions of Windows has been replaced by the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. It has a few built-in options, but you can't easily view the image at its full size. While this replacement is good enough, I miss the Kodak app already.
- Window transparency works much better in XP than it ever did in 2000. Again, this speed difference could be attributed to the video driver being used. If you want an application to test your transparency, check out Metapad. I use it instead of Notepad, anyway.
