I've found the networking side works better (read: faster) under XP, but
other than that, W2k is just dandy with me. I have applications running that
just sit there and do their stuff for six months at a time and if no-one
fiddles, the PC's just keep humming away. I haven't tried them under XP for
a while now - even the device drivers for the I/O cards wouldn't work, so
stuffed if I'm going to bother.

What I can't figure out is why they change the 'feel' of the OS every time.
It's never intuitive anyway, but once you get used to whichever one you like
(or are stuck with), then fine. Then MS come out with an 'upgraded' OS which
is only intuitive if you've never used MS software before!
