Go for it! I was a die hard 98SE fan for years... finally got Windows 2000 on my desk top last year in the spring... huge difference. I have XP on my laptop and have been using it almost exclusively. I now prefer it to Windows 2000. I have it set to look like onld windows just because I don't like the cartoony appearance of default XP Home, but I find it much faster and more stable than 2000.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
