Well, I'm not sure about XP. I have friends who run businesses who still operate Windows 2000 over XP. One of them is an MIT graduate and he won't touch XP with his business. I have XP PRO on a work computer and it is a pain in the ass. Always something going on. Windows 2K runs like a champ. I think I'll stay off the wave until all these distress calls stop coming in on the reflector.
