The fix for the association is easy enough to do but fiddly to find. You have to right click on a file of the relevant type, choose 'open with', pick the appropriate application from the list, and tick 'alway open with this program'. This will fix the problem, but you have to do it with every damn filetype you want to use. With something like Acdsee, this is a lot of pratting about you shouldn't have to do.

As far as wireless goes pre-SP2 it was a major pain in the arse, after SP2 it's just an ordinary, everyday pain in the arse You can deal with it, but wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to? 2000 just seems to do it better somehow.

The one thing I will admit that XP did better than 20000 is hibernate, but I can live with that if I get rid of all the other things it did worse.
