My $.02: XP rocks! I bought my "simple" PC that I use for email and as
a print server with XP Home Edition installed and it was soooooo much
better than Win2K that I popped for XP Professional for "Hal", my huge,
overwrought main machine that I use for digital video, 3D graphics and
music processing. I've never had a crash on either machine since and
networking the two and all my other gear is much, much easier now. I
suspect that XP is really what MS planned to release for Win2K, but
couldn't get it out the door by the magical Y2K date.
