Windows 2K is a solid OS. Agreed, but this discussion is about XP, which is being touted by Microsoft as the home upgrade path (as well as corporate I guess). W2K was never pushed for at home. Microsoft is going to advertise the bejizus out of XP, with certain alliance partners, guess who and guess who not, spending more than they did pushing Windows 95. It'll sell. I'd say there were just as many doubters about W2K as there are for XP. Our servers (at least, the ones with AMD CPUs) never, ever crash or lockup. Nice cheap shot. Tried any of those Athlon MPs yet? I hear they do a special "green-for-AMD-screen" when they crash. Tony

Blow Hard Dan - re: "Windows 2K is a solid OS" No sh!t Sherlock. Windows 95, 98SE, and ME ARE NOT SOLID. And that is the main target for XP - so THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF USERS will see a SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN VALUE AND RELIABILITY.
