Kimberly,
Don't get me wrong, I have 2k on a couple of machines and it is very stable
compared to 98 and NT. Problem is the motherboard I purchased has a Promise
ATA100 controller on the board, and I would have had to had installed the
drivers before installation. However, I wasn't sure where they were and
didn't feel like looking for them. Also, some programs, especially games
with opengl and direct x and stuff like that still don't like 2k. I believe
down the road I'll wind up installing it.

I have not seen XP myself but a co-worker likes it. He was running
2000, which is what I run. What issues did you have installing W2K?
It was pretty straight forward. The only issue I had was my motherboard
is a RAID board and I had to use the drivers supplied. I keep going
past the section where they were prompting me to switch to the a: drive
without noticing a couple of times before I noticed.
You can also upgrade 98 with 2000. I did a couple of machines at the office
with no issues whatsoever. Just make sure you got drivers for 2000
before hand since you computer is new.
I don't know what other people will say but so far its been very stable
for me, both at work and home.

well screw that!! They can keep XP, I am staying away from it now!! You
know, I just built myself a sweet monstosity of a machine at home. I
installed Windows 98 because I have it and it was easier than figuring out
how to install win2k. Now I am so frustrated with the instability of it
that I am almost depressed. Oh what to do.....

Has anyone heard of all the troubles that the new version of Microsoft is
having getting released ??
One of the ugliest things I see is their new licensing scheme. They make
sure you are using it only on a specific machine by having its functionality
based on hardware items on your system. This configuration has to be
registered either by phone or by internet about a month after it is
installed or everything stops working. If you change something big, like a
Network Card or cpu chip, your system will not boot because it thinks you
have installed it on a different machine.
Anyone have options on the new XP ?
