Rob, we're almost all on XP Pro (3 of us) and have pretty stable operation. With enough memory, you'd be OK, I think. I'm putting 2K Pro on at home, but that's a whole 'nutha kettle o' fish.

I shut off the XP look-and-feel -- I use the old Windows look. I like the old Start menu better. Fewer cycles dedicated to pretty pictures. ;-)

I am getting a new PC at work.  The tech's latest rage is putting on XP.
However I've been given the option of remaining on Win2000 Pro.

My typical workload will have:
Five 5250 sessions open
Notes R6 Client and Administrator
5 or 6 browser sessions
iSeries Navigator
WDSC and/or Code/400
Excel
Word
My 'tray' includes:
TrendMicro Office Scan Corporate Edition
Sametime
Desktop Weather by The Weather Channel
Code Communication Daemon
IBM Community Tools

Based on this, should I care one way or the other which I run? And why?

I ask this on this list to primarily see if any of these products,
(especially iSeries ones) have "issues" with XP.
