Can't take it - going back to

I hate WM5. I'm an experienced developer and Windows user used to frustration and bugs, but the upgrade to WM5 that I received from Dell has pushed me over the limit.

It's unreliable, slow, and generally very buggy. I have had to do numerous soft resets. Today I got an error message that says 'Unable to activate device Hex: 64a' (or something like that). Whenever I see a message that quotes a hex address I know I'm in deep dodo.

I appreciate all the people who haven't had any problems, but for me this is an all-time low, even by Microsoft standards. I give up; I'm installing the retrograde on the Dell support site that will take me back to WM2003
