No, cost is the reason I still don't have a Thai/English Windows but are running this Chinese one. And I don't use pirated software, not even Microsoft products. But let's not discuss this. ;-) > I can't remember the last time my computer crashed.

I heard that XP has some problems of its own which don't exist in W2K. IIRC it had to do with having to tweak the thing before you can some basic level of security, some incompatibility issues (see for example that you don't have TB's menu navigator under XP - it has to be prorammed differently, and that holds true for many apps). I don't know how stability compares between the Windows systems, but would be interested in an assessment. Are you on TBOT? I really think we should move this threat there. -- Cheers, Thomas.
