When I got it, the knobs were sloppy and some were missing. The plastic continues to erode (it has a hard life sitting on my bench) and the steel is flimsy. To say the mechanics of the 64Xi are poor would be an understatement. It's not uncommon for me to force a trigger to make sure the scope is ready to capture. Then it waits for your trigger to arrive to recal. Power up boot time for the old LeCory Waverunner 64Xi with added RAM, last version of XP service pack and SSD: At 30 seconds, XP has loaded At 45 seconds it has initialized the hardware At 55 seconds it is triggering and displaying all four waveforms At 65 seconds it runs the first calibration It will then recal a fair amount while it continues to warm up, unless it's not triggering.
From what I remember, installing XP slowed the boot times but I gained the time back with the SSD. Performance was so poor, it was faster to use GPIB than Ethernet!! One of my old LeCroy DSOs had Win2k installed.

The only exception to this was a Tektronix Arb where they were just starting to learn how to use Ethernet. I use Ethernet rather than GPIB to communicate with them and networking is easy. I have used a few other older Windows based Arbs and scopes.
The two LeCroys also have more RAM and the faster of the two has a 1Gb Ethernet card which vastly improved data collection times. The 64Xi has been using an SSD for about 5 years now with no problems. I own a couple of old Windows scopes and a network analyzer.
