I've only had one problem with HP, but it was during a computer game and due to some processing chip anomaly that the developers didn't take into account. Other than that, nothing.

I also use XP home and have not had any reboot problems. I have had a few glitches due to incompatiblity with older software, though.

I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2
