Windows XP + HP = Epic Fail Part 2
Welcome to Part2. A lot of video was edited out. In this video we only show the important parts of part2. The Laptop works great now but it would have been better to Just Use Linux. —– This is one of my computer headaches caused by someone recommending Windows XP to my customer instead of just using Linux.
