Tell 'em Wortzer. Good for u Wortzer...like Billy Bob needs the XP franchise money. I want to be layed out in my coffin and buried with my w2k disk in my hands. I go back before WIN 3.0 (3.1 was wonderful) to the days of 300 baud rates and 32 hour dumb terminal transmissions. I am glad to hear someone is happy with XP, because I have to move 1 of my 3 PCs from w2k to XP pro to use certain new 64bit apps. I will keep at least 1 w2k machine to operate 32bit apps until 64 bit drivers are available for them. It forced me into a power/speed upgrade also because my Asus P4T 1.4 , 1.5 and 1.6 won't cut it any more.
Incidentally, I'm confused about the difference between Home and Pro. Someone told me they were both 64 bit. I thought the difference was (among other goodie things) was that Home was only 32 bit, whereas, Pro was 64 compatible with 32. I am wrong, and Someone is right, right?
If XP had not come along my W.I.P upgrade to 840XE P5ND2-Sli would be less stressful. But then again, I could have said that about using a dumb terminal and 300 baud rates!
