Absolutamente! I also went on a mad dash to get HW with XP before it's
too late. Last part came in this morning. So I don't have to worry about
that stuff for several years.


I have a bunch of copies of W2K pro (so I can use the few Windows tools
I must have) along with all the service packs and updates (I have them
all cached).

Don't even have to worry about that 'genuine disadvantage' program. XP
never had anything I needed.

I'll say. I regret being hasty and just running out and buying a
replacement PC that had XP already installed... bloat-bloat-bloat :-(
