Has anyone tried the XP demo? Is it worth the 10 bucks and the time? :sleep:

Well i'm running Windows .NET Server (server version of Windows XP) and I think it's well worth it. It seems alot more stable and somehow faster :)

I had a demo, i got screwed over, for some reason my date was set one month ahead, so then when i changed it forward, it thought my 15 days were up, and i was forced to reformat since i could not register.
But i loved every moment of XP, i just love new operating systems.
