Hi Mike,
That debate is as broad as it is long.
It would really depend on her computing needs.
Eventually, each version of Windows drops out of the support
life-life-cycle,
meaning that security updates for the o/s will no longer be available.
If she plans on using her computer for a long time to come,
and wants to stay up with some of the current software applications, I would
upgrade to XP.
If for no other reason, if she purchases new peripharals
she may find that they are not supported on an older o/s.
If it were me, I would make sure and purchase a full version, and not an
upgrade disk.
HTH,

Subject: [Blind-Computing] OS question
Hi Everybody;
My sister is currently running Windows 2000 Professional for her operating
system. Would she be better off switching to XP Pro? If she would be
better off switching to Xp Pro, should she try to get SP2 or SP3? She
does
not use any screen reading programs or magnification programs, she is one
of
those so called "normal " people. If Xp would be better for her I would
like to find it for her for Christmas. All information and advice will
be
greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much. Have a great weekend and
take care.
Mike
