Speaking of putting your favorite software on the start menu, do you plan to give tips about selecting appropriate software for XP? I'm always looking for the "Designed for XP" logos whenever available. I look for independent certification from respected organizations such as ICSA labs. I know how to search Google or the newsgroups for horror stories about particular software. I generally adhere to a minimalist approach of installing no more or less than what you need and regularly use. But are there any other general tips that you may have in this area? Thanks.
