RE: XP vs Win2000 Pro

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

I use XP Pro at home and Win2K here at work.  And like them both.
XP is a *little* nicer.  But if I wanted, I could upgrade at work
but I haven't.  If the rest of the company is moving to XP, then
you should probably move also.  But if they are staying on
Win2K....stay.  Unless you want to be on the bleeding edge.

Probably the more important thing for you is how much memory!
You are running a lot of stuff and some of them are pigs!  I hope
you are getting at least 512 meg of memory!

Bob
