Lol... taken a point by a time:
1) The fastest, most stable and reliable os... doesn't apply to me - I've seen one that's faster, more stable and reliable. And it's free. Guess which.
2) Remote desktop: If you need this, you probably already got it.
3) Windows messenger: Hmmm... if it isn't available for other OS's than Windows XP, it's of very little use.
4) Remote assistance: If you need it, it's available today. I use VNC for that. It's free and works on all Windows versions.
5) System restore: That's the one that gives you extra work if you get virus, deletes your files and slows down your system.
6) EFS - nice. That's a real improvement, since most people don't have it, need it, and don't want to pay for it (like buying PGP).
7) Wireless support. Nice. I don't like the "auto-detect and auto-connect feature" - which networks do you connect to? I hope they though about that.
8) A wizard. Wow.
9) Change of design. Don't expect to find stuff where it was in your previous Windows version. Everything has been hidden new places.
10) IE6. Hmmm... works as good as it can on my Windows 2000.
I guess that was a bad top 10 list... it will definitely not make me spend money and time on an upgrade. My top 2 list would look like:
1) If you buy a new PC, get the newest version of Windows. It will outdate later than a previous version.
2) Employees will feel better treated if you give them the latest stuff.
The top 3 reasons not to get Windows XP is:
1) Your supporters XP knowledge is still small. Get something your supporters know.
2) There are probably software and driver problems, as there is with every new major Windows release. Get something that works for sure.
3) If you consider to upgrade from Windows 2000, don't. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
