Speaking of NTFS, I had to resort to XP for a media jukebox that only 
has a windows version of it's software.

While I was using the OS. I noticed that my processor was running hot 
and the fans were on most of the time.

I did have the processor go up to 72 C in Fedora once, but it usually 
runs around 40 - 45 C.

Also after using Fedora most of the time. I found that when I launch XP. 
I have trouble with the synaptic integrated mouse for this laptop. It 
runs for awhile, then quits responding. If I reset the mouse from the 
control panel. It will run until I finish with the session.

My main reason for asking about the synaptic strangeness in the other OS 
is because I was wondering if anything is being corrupted in the 
synaptic device by the kernel. Firmware, if this device so happens to 
have any.
