Just a quick question here...

If a program states that its "95/98/XP Compatable"

Is it your opinion that the program will also run under w2k Pro?
 
That would be my opinion. After all, 2K is NT 5.0 and XP is NT 5.1. There isn't a whole lot of difference internally.

However, I wouldn't spend much on such a program without testing it first or verifying that with its tech support. XP does have the compatibility mode option. Personally, I think it hardly ever works, but some apps that couldn't run in 2K have been known to run in XP using this comaptibility option...
