I was trying out windows XP pro on a different machine i have and personally, all it is, is windows 2000 with a makeover. the network thing is nice ... but thats about it. It seems kinda like "dumbed-down" with the gui compared to mac os X or kde. Its better than win9x tho. Note to all win9x users, upgrade now. Windows 2k pro & advanced server users stay. XP is sort of a win2k for the mass of people.

Also, i forgot to mention the activation thing. every like 3rd thing i add into my machine, i need to get it reactivated. Thats really annoying. And windows xp can only be installed on one machine... if you need more than one machine w/ an os get *nix. Linux, Unix, BSD, hell anything free. Or you can choose XP is you wanna fork over $500 for each new box. -

Activitation is required after every 6th device per MS. Lets face it, people need dumed-up guis like Mac OS X, most people cant do the simplest of tasks. I have had many phone support calls to people that have trouble doing simple stuff, very simple stuff. Or people will see some window pop up think its not what they want close it then say to you no I don't see a thing. Amazes me.
