it's nice to see this thread continue to run. The experience to be shared is that,
on my home-built machine, I loaded XPpro over WIN2000pro Had no problems running
over the old OS, 2000pro, HOWEVER, became very unhappy with support from MS when
I taught my son to build his machine then my grandson same thing. After a nightmare
of trying to network these three machines at the same physical location I finally
gave up and reloaded these machines with WIN2000 pro from my original machine. This
solved all our problems. Also had a great deal of difficulty with MS over the issue
of changing hardware once a week. We are all tinkerers and like to play inside the
machine. This attitude screams out for learning a linux distro but the ones I've
tried have been difficult for me to adapt to. I did not come to the puter world till
after DOS was passe. Also, on behalf of those who may not want to tinker and believe
that what they pay for should be close to flawless out of the box I must concur.
A lot of money is being made by aftermarket techs dealing with XP. If it was a new
car the government would be all over it. For now my 2000Pro is working flawlessly
as it has for three years on my machines and it does not care how often I change
my hardware.
