I really liked Win2000 Pro, great OS. Very stable. Still have it on a 8 year old Dell notebook I experiment with.

Just added a little sophistication to my dual boot system. Moved both main user profiles from each OS [XP(sp3) & Win2k(sp4) prof] on to the third partition as well. As explained by this link. (Just using the general idea) wiki.eeeuser.com Alternative Procedure: There is a good alternative to moving My Documents and Application Settings. Move the whole profile. In the user profile there is much more data then application settings and documents and it is a much better solution to move it all at once. Anyway it worked. Thus a I have a separate partition for all my "My documents" folder which is common to both OS's. That way I don't end up with duplicate data and user files. On the documents partition I have another folder called "Application Data" with two sub folders labeled "XP" and "Win2k". The profiles from each OS has been moved to these sub folders. Next I may separate out some common profile folders such as those used for email and make them common to both profile folders, again to prevent replication of files and data and ease of use. Some of the programs needed a little tweaking but the plan was otherwise fairly easy to implement.
