on the laptop and do a clean install. Not sure if Win XP would let you
downgrade to Win 2k or not, I never tried that.
They don't give you the option to get XP Pro instead of home?
Speaking of laptops, I just ordered my new Alienware on Monday. I
can't wait to get this thing in my hands.

The OS is a problem. and since my broken laptop has a licensed Windows 2000 Professional I would think it's legal to transfer that OS to another one and meantime abandon the broken laptop, now, has anyone upgrade XP home edition to Windows 2000 professional for a laptop?
