# I've thought about going back
because I have programs i want to run that don't work with xp. It would also run a lot faster without xps footprint. I just can't be bothered and I'm afraid other stuff would stop working.

# yeah
if anything, it might be better to go to win2k, or *nix

# 2k is nice
but patching it is an arse and it boots slowely

# yeah

# God I hated 2000
and xp for that matter.

I'll stick with this
It's all personal preference you know. There's no "right and wrong" oppo system.

# yeah
indeed, but security wise i'd stay 2k and fresher.

# Security? SECURITY?
I had 2000 installed for a very short time, and I got those damn messenger service boxes (Turned them off of course) and Trojans galore in through the back door.

what's more, Win98 is not effected by MsBlast. Heh!

# messenger things are a stupid service left on my m$ but a piece of piss to turn off really.
for security I'd go for 2k or XP (me at a stretch) as they are still being maintained by M$
