For those of you following my Windows XP saga, you know there have been more than one let down along the way. Well, as my XPerience progresses, I am finding out more and more about the world’s most unexplainably popular OS.
I, as you may expect, am a digital man. One of my many digital appendages is an HP digital camera. I found on HP’s web site that, lucky me, I did not need any additional drivers to use my camera with Windows XP.
Now you can guess that it didn’t work, or I wouldn’t be mentioning it. But, what’s more is the reason. After doing some further research on HP’s web site, I found that the reason my camera does not “plug and play” with XP is due to XP’s 32 megabyte size limit in handling flash cards.
That’s right, while the camera worked with its 64 MB card in Windows 98, the man that said that “640k would be enough memory for anybody” has decided 32 Megabytes are more than enough for your digital camera. Is it possible that Windows has gotten dumber with time?

Windows has hit rock-bottom. Someone hand it a shovel, so it can keep digging.
