Win2k owns. I find Win2k much better than XP in terms of speed AND stability. Win2k SP4 just came out recently, and everything seems to run great as usual. I know lots of people that have problems with XP, and almost no one with 2k. I pulled a 9 week 5 day continuous uptime with Win2k SP3, from January 20something till March something. This time period included many man-hours of playing GTA3, having 20+ IE windows open, 3+ different IRC connections, FTP server, and so on. 2k is a more solid OS, IMHO, and is probably why the (Canadian) federal government deploys it on all their machines (I work for them). My opinion is that if you can forego the WinXP built-in CD burning crap, media player (7, 8, or 9, i forget, everything above 6.4 sucks), and other such "family" type programs, then get Win2k. 2k is a more streamlined install, less space and memory wasted by useless (well, for me) applications. XP is just a newer version of 2k, with junk added, which slows it down.

Well, that's enough ranting for tonight..
