W2K or XP?

[aharrisreid]

I'm just about to purchase a new laptop pc, but I'm torn between having W2K pro or XP pro as the pre-installed operating system. I already have W2K on my desktop pc and I am perfectly happy with it, but I am being pushed towards XP by the vendors. Has anyone good or bad experiences of either?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Alan Harris-Reid

I just spent all day reformatting after removing XP. I had a lot of problems with XP. Could have been my fault but I went back tp W2K Pro, for what's its worth

LDaveM, thanks for the reply.

>I had a lot of problems with XP.<

What where these problems that forced you to take such drastic action?

I tried XP twice, removed it once because of driver problems, and then again recently because &quot;My Computer&quot; failed to show up when i clicked the icon, i've gone back down to Windows 2k pro, feels my more stable

I'm going to use Norton Ghost later on to make an image of my 2k installation, and then maybe give XP 1 last chance, saves me formatting yet again :
In my opinion 2k is more stable than XP, but XP is nice to use there isn't much in it really except XP has given me problems and 2k hasn't
