I'm having to reinstall windows xp -again-. I love it, but it bombs out on me every 3 months or so ... it just wont boot, last known good wont work, safe mode wont work ... all i can do is reinstall.
since my last reinstall i set 2 partitions so i could reinstall easily. thats not the way it should be! 
if i didnt play games and watch so many divx's, id be so using debian as my desktop. . .
Typing this on my shitty laptop. It runs 98. Not had to reinstall it once!
Grrrrrr.....

I assume you haven't changed much hardware or drivers then. (Or do you mean "involuntary reboots"?)
I like XP. It's been more stable than 98SE for the most part. But damn it, it won't run NeoRageX.

i hate the mouse acceleration in games in xp. the vertical speed isn't the same as the horizontal speed! does anyone know how to fix this? i want the mouse acceleration style of 2000 back!
also xp likes to disable dma mode on my dvd drive for some reason. like if it gets read errors from a bad cd it thinks the dma might be the cause so it kills it. the only way to reenable dma is to uninstall the secondary ide controller and let plugnplay re install it. grrr

I don't usually have involuntary reboots. I do power down or at least sleep at nighttimes though. I've got four 5000rpm+ fans in this SOB. It sounds like a fucking wind tunnel. But for an Athlon XP it's pretty cool ... 57 CPU / 37 case (celcius) after a two-hour Max Payne stint.
For me, XP never needs kicking. It just asks for it. Naturally, I oblige the little bitch. Two reinstalls thus far, usage since September.

I been running xp since sept.. Pro version and its doing fine.. even my parents cant crash it. Got xp home on my laptop.. its been doing great also. One fault was Xp was being bitchy about a card driver, but then I stuck in the ole sblive and was done with it. The pro machine is rebooted about once a month if that or if the power goes off around here... and my laptop well I turn it off when I travel so its on and off all the time depending on what or where im going.
