Currently, I have none.  My Win2K machine had a H/D crash.  I have all the 
hardware sitting right here to reassemble it, but I feel hard to put those 
hardware resources intio a machine that I basically don't want.  I have a 
legitimate copy of Win2Kpro plus product key (a gift, not a purchase).  I 
also have a copy of XP-Pro SP2 but it is the property of a family member.  
I don't have a valid/legal product key, and while I could walk into any 
computer store ion town and look under the keyboard of a display machine, 
I don't really know if I want to start with that....  So it looks like I 
prolly won't go with XP here just because of the registration/activation 
process.  I just don't want Windows bad enough to make the effort to get 
the machine activated without a unique product key to use for the purpose.

When I need a machine for some specific purpose, I find I can almost 
always make up a Limux box to do the job.....
