I'm with Marque on that one. Win2k Pro is GREAT! XP is designed for one OS and one PROGRAM per OS. EVERY PROGRAM must be registered to each machine, so ALL OF YOUR PROGRAMS must be purchased for each machine even of your machines are on a network. If you're a small company with a few machines, the software expense can be overwhelming. XP eliminates about 50% of the benefit of operating on a network... But I understand. Bill doesn't have enough money yet. pg
