2000 is nearing EOL, there's no really good reason to support an OS that's about to be 2 revisions behind. It's also not the most stable, 2003 Server is (and you can use that as a desktop OS, it's essentially 2000 which will run most XP-only software). 2000 is better only low-end hardware, XP's a bit of a pig (less so if configured correctly, you can trim it down to a 2000-level footprint) and Vista's just horrible for system requirements. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
