I never found out what killed the 2000. The install just died on an illegal operation as did the acceptance program. That's why I bought it anyway, I thought there was something wrong with the acceptance program but no....the actual 2000 install did the same thing. The PC World magazine (Nov.) says the XP product has none of those issues. I checked the Microsoft website and I don't see an XP acceptance program so hopefully it's and easy install. PC World has an readiness test at: pcpitstop.com This is a good thing because it also points out SOME of the software on your system that may need upgrading or is known not to work with XP. One downside is that Microsoft Office XP is a $329 upgrade if you use Word, Excel and such a lot. The other versions should still work but I am a latest greatest freak and if I do one I will likely do the others. Also, the PC World highly recommends Norton System Works and Internet Security 2002 packages and claims they work great with XP and are far superior to previous versions. As I know XP because of being more network friendly is more vulnerable in some aspects (though stronger in security in others) I will likely have to throw down the $69 each for those programs too.
