Well you have to make your own mind, however no matter what OS you use...you expect to find problems. No matter what game or program or OS, there are problems...some of them minor, and cant notice some them major...and can distrupt a lot of things. Example, Windows XP has loads of problems before you install The SP pack 1. They can include freezes, non responding programs to happen frequently and of course the good old crappy fire wall...which protects you from -nothin-? Without SP1 Windows X...
