    Win2K -> XP ...should I?

    I run Win2K, I'm very pleased with it, its stable and don't give me any problems.

    hmmm although i love XP i wouldn't reccomend that upgrade, Windows 2000 is also a great OS, if it was from any other MS OS i would say Yes immediatley. When i was getting XP i came from 98 so it was a great upgrade for me but win2k is comprable to XP so stick with 2k

    2000 has more administrative features, ability to be installed on more than 1 computer, more stable, has IIS out of the box. I think you should keep it.

    err if you know how you can install XP on more than one computer, if you have admin access you can do quite a bit in XP, and IIS ooooh take that! a crappy web server! Although i still agree you should stick with 2k

    A. IIS blows
    B. I can only see one reason to upgrade, for the fancy GUI.
    C. Windows 3.1 OWNZ YOU ALL!!!!!!!

    Stability issue? XP has no stability issue, in all the time i have had it, it crashed once because of XP (the crappy geforce drivers caused it to lock up a few times but that isn't XP's fault)

    GeForce drivers are anything BUT crappy, NV is legendary for kickass drivers. The OS is at fault.

    Surprised that you haven't had any stability problems most people have somit or other wrong with it..
    I'm bringing geeky back...

    the only thing i don't like about XP is when i make/resize/delete a new partition (a few times a week) it pops up that i need to restart to register all the new hardware that it detected. Even though i only partitioned it, it won't leave me alone until i restart. but that is just a minor quell
