Jim, <W2K is faster than WinXP...> And I'm sure DOS is much faster than Win2K or WinXP. Performance is not going to be the reason to upgrade. Likewise, with computers and upgrades as cheap as they are, a performance penalty will not prevent users from upgrading to WinXP. Of course, there are other reasons, like that Big Brother licensing thing. How come you're not making as much noise over this as you are over a harmless P3 serial number? Tenchusatsu

Jim, re: The Sheeple will go to XP, no questions asked. I assume you mean normal folks, not "Sheeple". It's my understanding that XP is a much more stable operating system, with a few more features. Most of the questions have been asked and answered. Are you saying that people shouldn't upgrade, for fear of being termed "Sheeple"? Tech Saavy will likely stay with W2k, even Linux or Win98SE. In offices, you probably have quite a few W2K, my guess is not too much home use. Linux is a non-issue wrt market size. W98, why not upgrade. Even Walt Mossberg, the ultimate Microsoft curmudgeon, sort of recommended XP. You sold your Microsoft? John
