Long time after you asked the question, but here is my take. Maybe it will be useful for others. I am quite an avid game player, playing mostly adventure games from DOS-based (1980's-90's) to the newest stuff. I have WinME at home and Win2K on the laptop from work. Some of the games do not run on Win2K though it seems that newer games are getting more compatible with Win2K. I assume (but have not tried) that most of old DOS games and some of Win98 games will not run on WinXP. That's why I am not upgrading to it. If anyone has experiences with DOS games on XP vs. ME/98, I would love to hear them. In essence, every game is different, so there is no single answer about games and XP/Win2K/WinME/98. I would assume that most people will be fine with XP and possibly Win2K. Your personal mileage may vary. Jurgis
