XP is based on NT technology which SHOULD be better, BUT (BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT!!!) Let me give you 2 real world examples...... 1. On my machine I run the Seti At home app. On my machine running ME, it takes 8-10 hours per work unit. NOW.. install new disk drive, FRESH install of XP home edition and now each Seti At home work unit runs at the blistering pace of 24-30 hours per work unit. Yes, XP runs the same app on the same machine SLOWER than Windows ME. Example 2. Friend of mine bought a brand new portable pre-loaded with XP professionsal. Loads ALL his business stuff on it and his correspondence. THEN, his USB connector on the motherboard fails. XP's respone?? BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!!. With a failing USB controller, there is NO WAY to boot the portable even to safe mode, so there is no way to get my friends data off his failing machine. His response?? He sent his PC back and when it was repaired, he re-loaded with Win2k.. Good luck...(I think you will need it) Bob
