Ever try XP Pro on a 200mhz Pentium MMX, 128mb RAM, Rage XL graphics?  It
was still pretty fast, though KDE choked.  Gnome was faster than XP,
however.  MS games won't run too well on that machine, but the OS runs
about normal for an MS OS (and XP Pro crashes about five times a day on my
Athlon system, as I must use the fool thing because of a few software issues and
printing issues with Linux at the moment).  What M$ product wouldn't
install for you on what hardware?
