"right"??? If what you have here is "right", then why the hell doesn't it come delivered that way?

Maybe you don't mean "right" so much as 'tweaked' to actually run reliably and effectively.

If tweaking is what's required to make XP run reliably and efficiently and effectively then I'd say that Microsoft missed its objective yet again.
