As long as Win2k is performing the same as XP, only without those terrible childish interface, I'll keep using Win2k.
I haven't heard a lot of positive stories about the stability of XP; allright, it is a lot more stable than ME or Win98, but performance is much lower than with Win2k.....
Maybe, sometime I'll try, but not at the moment

This is why I love XP!! Also the ease of setup and stabilty.
Go to www.themexp.org to get great themes and backgrounds.

Candy will rot your guts out from the inside. XP is a slothbox. There are some nice features like the pic viewer is much improved for slide shows etc. BUT: the memory hogginess is incredible, the candy slows things down even more, and it is definitely less stable than win2k sp2, not so much in xp itself crashing, but other apps going down. Also, ClearType, which I was hoping would make XP useful on the lappie, makes text look all smudged and fubared. Back to win2k for me, using an XP license lol.
hunf!

You find that awesome?
Running Win2k fast and stable (except for the booting time) on a P1-133 with 32 MB of RAM I think is awesome...
If you like WinXP, stick with it, but personally I don't like that childish style XP uses. The startmenu is horror, IMHO.
But that's all a matter of taste I guess
But fact is: XP is a relatively slow OS, which uses a lot of resources!

I have the only stable version of Win Me in America, and I ain't about to go to using XP.

Hi;
Yeh, one used to be mine until the better half took it over. The other one, thanks to you, DaMasta and Diffie, who got me through my growing pains.
Ok, XP, I'm going to take you on! Let's see... shrink the XP partition, 1 for the recovery files, 1 small one for the boot partition, lilo on the linux partition, a common for XP/Linux share(fat16)... bootsect.lnx to the C: drive, edit boot.ini.. am I a linux geek yet?
