Hear, here!

I'll also that Win2K runs far better on slower machines.   But the really
big difference is that a passle of win2K machines don't start to drift
apart from each other, the way XP does, when maintaining a bunch
of them.  One of my faculty is learning this: I helped him get and set
up two machines last May, and now they do slightly different things,
even though the same patches are applied to them.  I am so glad I
do not run Windows, myself. *sigh*
