Try playing an oldish game on it.

You'll see the difference then.

Originally posted by tribu I am. For a long time, It was more stable than XP and I got Pro for 75 bucks. I dual boot between 2000 pro and suse linux, and I like them both

I have the same setup (suse/2k).

I use XP at work and 2k at home and I still don't see why I should upgrade to XP. Aside from the Fisher Price theme, which some people might like, what compelling feature(s) does XP give me to make me want to fork out more $ to replace a relatively solid OS? Built-in zip support? ooohhh ahhhhh ... I do like the faster boot time, but that's still not enough.

I take it you never ran Microsoft Bob (yes, actuall OS called "Bob")

Oh, and ME is 95/98 repackaged and sold to morons who were dumb enough not to get win2k/xp/nt

BTW, got 2 boxes at home that still run Windows for Whorehouses (WFW) and NT 3.51, SP6.

There!

Win XP handles applications better, it's also better at memory allocation.

What do you mean by "better" exactly? I've used both (2k & XP) in a variety of hardware and I don't see how it does it "better". Mind you, there _is_ the rare software that doesn't work on 2k but works on XP.
