> You don't have to run WinXP, Win2000 is good enough. It's hard to believe > you have a standard PC that is worth running that can't accept Win2000. At $139 to $199 a pop for 2000 or XP, I think the money would be better spent on a new computer. The pain of reinstalling all your favorite programs - priceless :) Though I suppose all the people suggesting upgrading the operating system were not suggesting you actually "buy" it.
