Welcome to XP, Lynn!
Dear [Lynn],
Hey there.
Congratulations on your purchase. I think you’ll be pleased with XP performance and reliability. I have it on two of my computers now and it hasn’t crashed once in a year and a half. For certain tasks, like searching through large numbers of files in Windows Explorer, it’s a fair amount slower than 98. But when you run it on a computer that’s almost ten times as fast as the one you were running 98 on, you probably won’t even notice this. Also, the fact that XP is all 32-bit code now makes it run even more reliably and faster when executing programs.
