Hi Richard & Bob; I posted the question because she has been talking about upgrading as far as she can without going to Vista. She is an extremely heavy computer user managing several investment accounts and constantly reading investment stuff and whatever the hell comes along with that type of work. From what I am understanding her Windows 2K pro is lacking in some areas and if switching to XP Pro when she gets her new computers would benefit her I would like to help her out by getting the XP Pro OS for her. Thank you very much for the feed back. Take care.

I'm using Win2K Pro and it does everything that I want to do. If the same is true for your sister, why should she go through the trouble of starting all over just to get a newer OS? Moving to a newer OS on an old machine is pointless if the current OS provides all that the user needs. hth Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Barbara" <[email protected]> To: "-Blind Computing" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 12, 2008 6:41 PM 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.
