Heh heh.
As far as I've seen, WinXP Pro is as stable as Win2K. Actually, it's pretty much the same thing (except for the graphics over haul.) Everything that worked in Win2K works in WinXP (plus some things that didn't work in Win2K . . . namely FF7. XP also had some built in TWAIN drivers for an HP Scanner I could never get working . . . but I'm thinking Win2K probably had them as well. I was also surprised that doing a search in help on, say, "Creating Local Groups" actually came up with help on Creating Local Groups and not a list of Cheeses around the world, or some other totally off topic junk. )
So far, I find it worthy of being considered an upgrade from Win2K (even though it's not much better.), and all my buddies (most of whom also happen to be techs) who've used it seem to like it as well.
