Hi, this is invoman's wife. I'm a network admin for our city. On a personal note, my hubby has an HP PC loaded with Win ME. He's going to reload everything to where it's just a clean PC w/ Win ME, no programs loaded. Is it advisable to upgrade to XP from this type of scenario without any problems? Or would you recommend a dual boot? On the other side of the fence, I'm wary of the XP system, and I run 2000 pro at work without any problems. I'm looking to get another PC at home where I can perform my network duties on an NT network. Does XP Professional log into an NT domain, or should I just stick with purchasing 2000? I appreciate your input, and thank you for your time. Kitt

Windows XP is simply an upgrade of Windows 2000. Anyone who buys a new PC from now on will use it unless they go with Mac, Linux, etc. Windows 2000 and Windows Me are now obsolete, like DOS became obsolete when Win 95 came out.

That is why I am amused at those saying they will never use it. It is like the DOS guys who said they would never go to Windows.
