Does XP Pro have a syslog where most services write their activities and
errors?

Apologies if this is well-known; I'm more a Unix person and don't have much
experience with XP.

Thanks,
Nick

Which I'm thankful for while in college as it was cake to add/remove
classes using the unix interface.

You're looking for the Event Log.

Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Log

There are the OS Event Logs; Application, Security and System.

Execute; %windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc

However it is not like a TCP based Daemon like in Unix where you can point other devices to
send their respective error lmessages to the platform.

I think after he finds it and noses around in it for a while, he'll see just
how limited it is when it comes to providing any useful information. 🙂
Better than nothing and probably all that M$ was able to come up with.

Best way for you to diminish your credibility in this NG is to use M$
instead of MS.
